A complete copper alloy coin weight dating to the Post Medieval period (AD 1760-1773). The weight is square in plan with 2 . 16 stamped on both faces.

Discussion: Withers (2011: 63) notes that such weights stamped with letters, numbers and other symbols were often made by watch-makers, jewellers and many other traders who bought blank copies from wholesalers to sta…

Post Medieval token: a 17th century trade token issued by John Cherry of Worcester. Williamson (Williamson, G.C. Trade Tokens Issued in the 17th CenturySeaby Volume I-III) No. 132.

As a result traders and business proprietors began issuing tokens as an alternate coinage with equivalent denominations of a farthing, half penny or penny. Such trade tokens rarely travel far from their place of issue and provide an insight to the trade of the time. In 1672 …

Copper alloy door fitting. Cast straight-sided plate with a stepped and curved end and a straight stepped end. The latter bears a round nut through which passes an integrally cast round section pin, on which the object would turn to serve as an escutcheon covering a keyhole. This is confirmed by a key-hole-shaped stain on the reverse which, together with other patches of black, may arise from the oiling of the lock or its escutcheon. Traces of a stamped maker's name in capitals of modern form appear on the display face. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1800-1900. Height: 39.8mm, Widt…

Lead possible weight, as kindly identified by the finder. A square offcut of cast sheet of thickness 2.9mm with an incised design on one side: parts of three squares nested within each other are discernible. These are not linked or crossed by other lines, so a Merels or Nine Men's Morris board motif can probably be ruled out. Patinated, and lightly crumpled, producing concave sides to both the object and to the linear design marked on it. If indeed a weight, this may have represented one [underweight] averdepois ounce.

A complete post-Medieval lead alloy ball (c. 1600-c. 1800). This ball is sub-spherical with a coarse surface and a large indentation possibly caused by impact. The ball has a faint flattened circumferential band (set-up) caused by the ball being squeezed against the inside of the muzzle during firing. The ball is grey with off-white and brown deposits. Diameter: 17.0mm. Weight: 23.04g. The weight suggests that it could have been used in a carbine (Harding 2012). Harding, D.F., 2012. Lead Shot of the English Civil War: A Radical Study. London.
