Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Post-Medieval cast copper-alloy object, possibly a stamp. It is of rounded hourglass shape and cast solid. All surfaces are smooth and plain expect for the top which displays a small circular dent and the bottom ('stamp') which displays three deep, parallel grooves. It seems unlikely that it was some kind of personal stamp, espeically because there is no visible means of suspension, but shape and 'stamp' pattern on the bottom suggest a similar use.

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
This is a socketed clay pipe bowl (socket broken off) depicting Alexander II, the Russian Czar (1818-1881). The pipe was made by Gambier, one of the best known French pipe manufacturers, who specialised in making high quality figural pipes. It was their pattern number 822 and was already in production by 1868, since it is shown in a catalogue of that year. The firm continued producing pipes until about 1920 and so this piece could have been made at any time between about 1860 and 1920.

Cast lead-alloy scallop mount, gilded. Being a scallop it maybe have been an architectural element of, e.g. a church or another religious building or garden. It was probably mounted on a staff or similar, which is now broken off and missing.
