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. The artefact is slight worn but in a fair condition, with a dark green patina. These types of strap fitting are often mistaken for Medieval harness fittings but are actually more modern in date.

19th century fob-seal matrix with elaborate design of the handle. The seal was cast cu-alloy anbd possibly gilded. The seal itself bears the negative of a male bust made from crystal or, more likely, glass. S. Riddle from the Lancaster Maritime Museum could identify the ship on the handle and suggests that it might be a paddle steamer because it has a paddle box on either side. She says: "Although paddle steamers were in use and production for a long time (1820s-1948), I think that it is an earlier design of ship fue to the masts (it is a full-rigged ship) and sails. Earlier steamers …

Cast copper alloy fitting from a firearm (longarm) probably a rifle or musket of probable post medieval or modern date (1650-1850).

At one end of this cylinder is an integral cast length of metal with a shallow D shaped cross section. This length of metal tapers along its length and has been bent to form a U shaped hook. There is a large stress fracture along the edge of this hook where it meets with the cylinder. …

Cast copper alloy hand or glove, of likely 19th century date. Uncertain function. The object is hollow, and contained a blue glass stopper. The object is decorated with relief ornament, resembling the end of a sleeve, aroune the flared open socket.
