I haven't posted any new finds for awhile so here are a few from last weekend.The coffee pot trade weight is from 1826 William 4th ,the Tin lid is for "Rose Leaf Chewing Tobacco,not sure of the makers name but looks like Plorhibird ? shame its broken,but a nice find.Don't know what the castle button is off but could be a livery \ uniform button.The finger ring is copper alloy with the remains of guilding the word Love and a makers mark or fake hallmark are still clear on the inside of the band.

Some great finds there Simon.

Love the coffee pot weight  - its a cracker.

The chewing tobacco tin is different as well.

Well done

A nice array of finds there Simon nicely winkled. Not 100% but I think the three towered castle button with the flag is from the Inniskilling Dragoons.

Simon there are a few different regiments that have the three towered castle, but it's the flag that makes the Inniskillings slightly unique.
