    Bought a big auction lot of generic stemware. Catalogue did not state that it had 4 Waterford champagne flutes and 6 Webb England wine glasses so lot was acquired fairly cheaply.

    And it also had this Waterford 2 branch candelabra, not quite complete, so will sell for spares :)

    Found these in a storage lock-up next door to mine, they`ve been sitting there for years just a few feet away.
    Sterling silver 19th century Vesta case, Snuff box and a serviette ring.

    Box of silver cufflinks and studs, not worked out the stones yet.

    033.JPG

    Two WWI Trench Art shell cases, (I`m always dubious about Trench Art so more research is required)

    20180723_210812.jpg

    A trunchion / cudgel/ stick / staff /baton.

    Definitely not UK police or military, my issue was heavy hardwood, marked and slimmer.

    Lightwood baton with a hole drilled at the top and filled with lead, remnants of a leather wrist strap.
