A fragment of a copper alloy (latten) seal top spoon. The fragment comprises the spoon knop only. The terminus is a flat oval disc which tapers down to two adjacent collars, the second being slightly narrower than the first. From the second collar, the knop then tapers gradually before expanding to a baluster which narrows before meeting another collar before the break . The disc, collars and baluster are all sub-circular in cross-section. There is no evidence of initials on the disc. The surfaces are heavily corroded.

A fragment of copper alloy spoon. The terminal only of a spoon stem. It is flat and rectangular in section with a widened three-lobed 'trefid' terminal. It has punched initials, W S just below the terminal on one side; these have been made using separate dies, suggesting they were added post manufacture for the owner rather than as a makers mark. It has a mid grey-green patina suggesting a high tin content. Date: Post Medieval - c. 1670 - 1720 Dimensions: Weight:

A lead alloy sliptop spoon. Broken into two pieces.The stem is oval in cross section with a tapered slip top terminal. The stem has broken away from the bowl where it flattens and starts to flare out. The slightly convex bowl is a broad "fig-shape" and the sides have been folded in in places. There are no visible touch marks. The alloy contains more lead than other metals (probably tin) resulting in it feeling heavy for its size.

Post-medieval baluster seal spoon end. A cast copper alloy spoon top with baluster decoration and a remnant of the stem. The distal end is flat-topped and sub-circular in shape (the seal element of the term). Below this it constricts to a concentric rib with five rectangular indentations below. The spoon ton then widens out again into a rounded knop with fine, vertical, cut indentations (slightly off-set to the wider ones above). The end then narrows again to an hour-glass shape before terminating above the stub of the stem. From what remains of the stem, it appears to have had a copp…
