Object type: TOKEN
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A worn copper alloy post-medieval token, formed from a halfpenny of George II (AD 1727-1760). The coin has been clipped to form a serrated edge around its circumference, and nearly all detail has been removed or worn away - one can just make out the left facing bust of George II. On the reverse of the coin the initials W K have been incised. Tokens were a common occurance from the 17th century, some lead tokens being crudely made while other copper alloy tokens were manufactured to much higher standards. There are a couple of examples of other tokens with serrated edges (see SUSS-72B7…

Object type: TAP
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A cast copper alloy tapering cylinder measuring 68.29mm in length. Near the wider end is a goup of three cast and rounded chevrons. Within the chevron group is a small circular countersunk hole. Remains of a white metal coating survive on the surface. The purpose of this object is unclear. It has the appearance of the spigot for a barrel tap but the lack of any grip to prevent the spigot turning in the wood argues against this interpretation.

Object type: CUTLERY
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Oxfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy wheel from a post-medieval pastry jigger (AD 1700-1800). The openwork wheel is circular in plan with a central perforation to attach it to the jigger arm. Four spokes located at the four cardinal points project outwards from the central perforation, forming broadly oval openwork cells. The circumference of the wheel is decorated with deep incisions located on either face to form a zig-zag cutting edge, with three crimps then a flat section, repeated around the cutting edge. Similar examples can be found in the PAS database: PUBLIC-F0BC67, IOW-610522 and HAMP-709713.
