Lead alloy button copy. Cast plano-convex uniform button front bearing a Crown Imperial above a bugle with the number 20 between these features, and with a now-crescentic basal legend which probably extended round the button retaining the letters [--]TEERS [--].

This is probably a casting taken from a 19th-century military uniform button. What is described above may suggest this to be from the periods of recruitment of volunteer or yeomanry regiments to defend …

A complete Modern lead alloy bag seal, c.AD 1914-1937. The seal for guano fertiliser is roughly circular in shape with incomplete edges, it is heavily worn on both sides, with some of the detail missing. Obverse: ANG[LO CONTINENTAL] / [LATE OHLENDORFF] / [...] Reverse: [T]RADE / MARK, cornocopia in centre It is unclear whether this seal still shows the Ohlendorff name, which would help to date the seal as later just the cornucopia trademark remained. Bailey (2000) illustrates a similar example on page 19, Fig.16.
