Object type: GAMING PIECE
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An iron token or weight which has possibly been converted to a gaming piece. If formerly a weight it would approximate to 1/2 ounce, but account must be taken of metal lost through corrosion. It is badly corroded but on both sides a symbol has been scratched into the surface post manufacture, which consists of two triangles joined in line with each other at the point. Rust is evident on both faces Dimensions: It is diameter 28.4mm and 2.48mm thick, it weighs 12.5g

Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A probable iron horseshoe. The toe and one branch survive. Although it may be a result of corrosion the outside edge of the shoe appears to be wavy edged. One side of the shoe is flat, the other slightly curved. The remains of round headed nails are seen in possibly two of the holes, which coincide with the shape of the rim. There are other holes, six in total,  the one at the end of the shoe being elongated, although these are now filled with corrosion products. The size and the wavy rim suggest an eary medival date for this. Dimensions: The surviving part of…

An iron horseshoe of uncertain age. It is asymmetric, one branch is pointed and one ends in a wide, blunt end. The central shape is a pointed arch.It is too corroded to identify the number of holes present.  It has some of the characteristic shape of a thirteenth century Dove shoe, but it could also date from the eighteenth century, the level of corrosions may suggest an earlier date Dimensions: 130mm long and 120mm wide approximately, it weight 239g

Iron horseshoe. This is heavily corroded but the inner arch shape can be discerned, and there is the suggestion of two rectangular holes in the front of the shoe. The pointed branch is also apparent. It is likely to be a Guildhall transitional type, dated to AD 1500-50 (Sparkes 1976, 13).

A heavy iron horseshoe of probably medieval origin. It has an arched shaped centre with roughly vertical sides, and the arch is not pointed, which indicates a sixteenth century date. The outside is a more rounded shape. It is not possible to tell if calkins are present, but possibly not. In spite of the heavy corrosion two or three square holes are visible around the perimeter.  Similar to the Dove show shown on page 15 of  Sparkes' Shire Guide to Horseshoes. The dimensions are in accordance with a draught horse shoe of the period Dimensions: 14cm wide, height…

Object type: SCABBARD
Broad period: MEDIEVAL
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Late- or Post-Medieval chape from a dagger or rapier sheath or scabbard, made from iron sheet which was rolled up to form a tube with one open end while the other was cut into triangles so the points could be bent inside to form a closed terminal. The inside (and possibly the outside as well) had a copper-alloy coating which is proven by the green corrosion residue. Near the open end is one rivet hole which bore the rivet that helped keeping the chape on the sheath.
