Broad period: MODERN
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Very worn button or ornamental fitting. It is circular and made from cast cu-alloy, displaying the setting for a semi-precious stone or glass centre-piece in the centre of the circle. Between and centre piece are moulded circles and dots, framing the green glass stone in the middle. Both the setting and the stone are chipped and very worn, probably not vouching for an old age but rather cheap-ish make. It is not clear if there was an attachment loop on the reverse; there is a moulded dot in the centre of the reverse, or possibly solder residue which could have attached a loop, wire or…

19th century ferry token made from cast cu-alloy, complete except for the small suspension loop at the top which is missing.

Broad period: MODERN
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Small cast cu-alloy coffin which is composed of three different parts: casket, lid and (possibly) headplate. All three parts are held together by a small cast cu-alloy rivet at the head end of the coffin and can swivel around it on U-shaped perforations at their edges. The 'head plate' is thinner than the body and lid of the coffin and may have protected a message or similar that was wedged between the plate and the lid. If there was one, it is missing today - probably rotted away. The shape and lay-out of the coffin is late post-medieval/modern and due to its size it is more likely th…

Cast cu-alloy seal matrix dating from the 19th or early 20th century. The seal matrix is complete except for the handle which would have been made from an organic material, most likely wood. The seal matrix's head is small and at the opposite end it has a spike that would have been driven into the wooden handle until the stop/collar in the centre of the artefact. The seal matrix itself is a small oval shield with the Union flag on (the Union flag or 'Union Jack' was adopted in 1801).

A cast copper alloy figurine of an eagle with outspread wings dating from AD 1725 - 1800.

Small circular cast cu-alloy weight, probably dating from the early 18th century. The weight was part of a 'nest of weights' and has a small rim around the upper surface in which a small weight would have fitted. The weight itself would have sat in the heavier weight underneath. The upper surface is stamped with a crowned 'WR' which probably means WILLIAM REX which would date the weight to the early 18th century.
