As a young man in my first job as a messenger boy, i was enthrawled by the small shops around post war London selling antiques and artifacts. Wherever possible i would pop into these shops and ofetn pick up some items for a few shillings ( old money). This is a prime example of one item i discovered which is a real and rare gem. I remember the shop clearly, it was located behind the Old Bailey courts of justice, positioned near the city of London, an area of unique ancient architecure ( at that time) and many small antique traders. The provenance of this item is unquestionable and now almost 200 years old its value is hard to establish, but to any collector or buyer of such items please make your best offer for our consideration. Thanks & Good hunting.
