After traveling outside of the area for the past several years, I've decided to bring some of what I have seen back to my hometown. A scratch of the chin, tilt of the head and perhaps even a gasp may ensue, but there is truly a treasure to be had by every one.

•a fantastic English made sterling silver horse hoof inkwell dating to the late nineteenth century, commemorating a prized mare of the victorian time and emblazoned with the family’s monogram on the lid. Crafted by the prestigious Mappin & Webb Company of Sheffield, the piece has several British hallmarks prominently displayed, as well as the engraving “Jeannette 1882” across the front, likely the horse’s name.

•a phenomenal and very rare c.1850s English presentation dagger in its original silk, button tufted thuja burl wood fitted box. The dagger, also in its original leather sheath, was handmade and stamped by George Woodhead of 36 Howard Street, Sheffield. It has a sterling silver handle with mother of pearl inlays, monogrammed with an “R.” The French Napoleon III style marquetry box features brass and mother of pearl accents, and overall is in fantastic condition for its age. The story passed on with the dagger was that it belonged to a courtesan, but I can neither confirm nor deny that information, however it does make for a rather salacious story😏vampires be damned!🩸(box measures approximately 12 1/2 inches long by 4 1/4 inches wide and 3 1/4 inches tall, dagger measures approximately 11 inches long, available, please DM with interest)•
