A carved vegetable ivory acorn shaped thimble case and its thimble

The fine steel wire mesh is coiled onto the head of a steel pin

The piercing has survived with no damage and the lenses are clear

In good condition- it has been used and has areas of needle wear but no holes

A rare late 17th century silver thimble with a band of leaves and the maker's initials AP

The black flecking on the base of the reels is indicative of bone from a domestic animal

The blue 5 x 5cm

In excellent condition with age related dings as is usual but as it is of a good gauge of silver these are only slight

A small pearl box with a decorative sliding lid revealing an oblong space which would have held four pearl whist counters

The SW measure at the top was to see if a sovereign was the correct weight

Later barrels from c1830 were made entirely of ivory but the flecking on this barrel indicates it was made from domestic animal bone

The seal end is uncut and is a pink coloured stone
