An incomplete Georgian silver 'porte crayon' or propelling pencil, probaby dating 1800-1830. The pencil is formed of a ribbed cylinder with a collar around the centre.

A silver eagle of probable modern date (circa 1800-1900). The eagle is shown standing with wings outstretched. The eagle is depicted very naturalistically; etched lines and curves add detail to the feathers of the wings and the tail, and also the head. The eagle's head is slightly turned to its left, and in its mouth is a large wreath with two tastles below. The feet are missing. While eagles in similar pose are known from the Roman period, the style and execution of this particular item is more appropriate in the 19th century. The item was probably used as a furniture fitting or a…

A silver perpetual calendar from a Georgian porte crayon. The object is a silver tube inscribed with six bands each divided into seven squares. The upper five bands are inscribed with four x's followed by the numbers 1-31. The lower band is inscribed with the initials of the days of the week. A similar calender from a porte crayon is illustrated on the front cover of 'Collecting Pencils', by Courtier, Marshall & Marshall (second revised edition). The object was probably made by the Birmingham silversmith Joseph Willmore (1803-45) in 1817.

Silver coin made into a home-made identity tag or token. The details of the coin are completely worn on both sides and are now replaced with punched dots bearing a name. On one side the coin reads: R PIN. The letter 'N' meets the edge of the coin and presumably this side was abandoned because the text was started in the wrong place. The other side reads: R PINDER/SALTFLEET. The identity of R PINDER is uncertain although there is was a B PINDER serving in the Saltfleetby home guard during the second world war. If the first name was Robert, this could account for the use of both…
