A lead alloy seal, probably a cloth seal, probably dating from 1821. It consists of two circular discs of lead connected by a narrow strip that is folded so that the discs are pressed together. One disc has a hole in the centre through which is passed an integral rivet from the other disc. This is then squashed flat when the seal is stamped. On one disc are letters in three lines reading (?)/NE(L)/EL (the first letter being either an I or a T).

Lead alloy, with silvered and gilt surface, medallion. Cast medallion, both sides identical, with a silver coating with gilding over it. A central motif of a head in profile right. The profile has a vaguely anatomical aspect, as if elements of the skull or musculature were emphasised; it is hairless and at all events does not appear to be a naturalistic portrait. A circumferential Latin legend reads: GERMANICUS NAVIGAT SOLO NULL, possibly translating as: A German never sails alone,or, in the light of comments rehearsed below, possibly 'No German sails alone'..

Lead and iron fishing lure. Plano-convex casting representing a beetle with eyes, wing case and abdomen modelled, and with the bent stub of an iron hook or pin embedded in its flat underside on the centre line, a little towards the tail. The form of the object enabled it to spin as it was drawn through water, and the low relief detail on the convex face was intended to set up vibrations to entice fish such as salmon or pike - its 'realistic' appearance would be of more significance to the fisherman than to his prey. If successful, the object would function as a gorge, to stick crosswa…

A fragment of a modern lead alloy toy train carriage. The fragment contains one side of the carriage; it is decorated on one face with two wheels and the slatted carriage wall. The name 'LIVERPOOL' is written inside one of the slats. Attached to one wheel is a linear fragment, possibly a piece of track. The top of the carriage is broken. The reverse is plain and rough, suggesting that this was one side of a 3D toy and that the reverse would have been hidden inside the toy. The fragment measures 40.7mm (length) x 25.6mm (width) x 1.7mm (thickness) and weighs 3.05g. This toy fragment …
