Unidentified lead fragment. Original identification suggested the object may have been a fragment of a printing block, however, there is a slight curve to the decorated side which would suggest otherwise. Possibly a fragment of lead mould for a pottery vessel. The decoration shows a lined edge with two curved lines and a possible leaf/flower pattern inside.

Unidentified object, probably a bag or sack seal or a customs badge? It was cast from lead and is tulip/harp-shaped. While the reverse is plain, the obverse is separated by five horizontal grooves into six almost equally-sized fields. The decoration/writing reads: 1: cross (?), 2. small zigzag pattern, 3. R.F, 4. large zigzag pattern, 5. 19, 6. S+F or S+T. The '19' is printed in a different script and may have been added later, e.g. as a customs or sales mark(?).

Triangular lead object, possibly for decorative purposes (part of decorative frame?). It is of white colour with the original surface shining through in silver. It seems as if it could have been part of a larger object, e.g. it could have been one point of the Star of David. The individual arms are hightly decorated with zigzag lines and angular as well as round mouldings. Parts have been broken off at the three points.

Object type: UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT
Broad period: MODERN
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An unknown composite object of probable modern date. The object consists of a flat and circular cast piece of lead which has been attached to wood with a ferrous screw. Dimensions: length: 43mm, width: 22mm, diameter of lead: 24mm, weight: 28g. The first satisfactory screw-cutting lathe was invented by Jesse Ramsden in 1770, so the object can not pre-date that.
