Cast lead-alloy whistle in the shape of a pipe bowl, probably late 19th century in date. The pipe bowl is similar to clay pipe examples and is decorated with moulded decoration consisting of joined semicircles and small raised knops. The base of the bowl ends in a pointed spike.

Cast copper alloy rowel spur. The neck of the spur is oval in cross-section and starts horizontally straight but tapers towards its downwardly bent rowel box. The rowel box is damaged and the rowel is missing but ferrous corrosion visible in the rowel box suggests that the rowel pin was iron. The horizontally straight sides, of flattened D-section, taper from the neck of the spur towards the terminals which are both formed by two rings set like a figure-of-eight equally above and below the front of the spur side. Three of the four terminal rings contain looped and riveted, copper allo…
