Moulded glass circular seal from an ‘onion’ shaped bottle embossed with Inº Davis 1704. The seal has a boss on the back and a gold coloured skin due to devitrification and one edge has been broken off. There are some records of the Davis family of Perranuthnoe getting married c.1700, but the two names mentioned are Honour and Samuel. John Davis, however, is recorded as having died in 1737, so this seal may have been used to commemorate the birth or baptism of one of his children in 1704.

Sterling silver trefoil-looped dress fastener with a setting and knop soldered to the central loop. The style of the piece looks Georgian but the recorder can find no comparanda. The hallmark is made up of the lion passant for sterling silver, the anchor for Birmingham, and the third stamp, the date letter, is illegible, but looks like a capped letter within a shield shape stamp. Birmingham started marking silver in this way in 1773, and the date letter follows immediately after the anchor between 1773 and 1783. The maker’s mark looks like ‘C Z’?
