An incomplete cast copper alloy harness strap fitting dating to the Modern period (c. AD 1910-1930). An A-shaped buckle with a bar across the bottom.

A cast copper alloy military badge of The Royal Regiment of Artillery dating from either World War I or World War II. The badge depicts the name 'UBIQUE'. Discussion: kindly contributed by Mr Peter Hart. These artillery cap and collar badges are similar to the Royal Engineer’s collar badges which have two extra flames emerging from the bomb. The bomb badge was used by the Royal Regiment of Artillery in the beret when it was found that the traditional gun badge was too ungainly.

This cast copper-alloy object has a short cylindrical stem or handle with a saucer-shaped receptacle at one end. It looks very like a scoop from a seed drill, but is in fact a shelf-support from a late 19th- or early 20th-century bookcase or similar piece of furniture. The stem is complete but very short, and would have fitted snugly into a drilled hole in the wall of the bookcase; the dished disc would have fitted into a shallowly drilled hole on the underside of the shelf.
