Leather £1 Coin Holder - Used - Collectable!



SOLD

As the current beer tokens are being phased out to be replaced by the new thruppeny bit ones, these will become something of collector's pieces. Why not get in at the start with this prime example? It's an English made leather and metal sprung tube. I have no idea how many coins this holds, I never seem to have enough about me to test it, but looks to be about 15. The leather and gold stamp are in excellent condition, the metal somewhat tired looking with the plating worn away in parts  but still good overall and perfectly serviceable.

Brown Honeycomb Glaze Mustard Pot - Fosters or Kernewek



A mustard pot in the brown honeycomb glaze redolent of Kernewek or Fosters. Complete with flat slotted lid although no spoon. It is not marked with a name and I make no claim that this is either as there were some very similar products out there; conversely Kernewek or Fosters sometimes did not mark all their ware. It is in excellent condition.

Vintage Art Deco Milk Jug - Crown Ducal



SOLD

Lovely milk jug in cream with orange and grey hand painted flowers and lines. The impressed stamp is 36 and indeed the shape is a common one with the flattened handle and slightly raised spout in archetypal deco style. However I just cannot find the design name - maybe somebody out there can help? Again I am unsure of the age, possibly either side of WW2 or slightly later. There is a small flake of paint missing on the top of the handle otherwise it's in very good condition.
