An intact, vintage maybe, glass bottle whilst digging a trench for my veg patch. (I seem to be right on the edge of the rubbish midden or whatever it is).

Looks like the initial on the side emblem are "PLJ". Can't be that old as there's numbers on the base. Pretty though. Daughter has claimed it.

Here after a bit of a wash:

Edit: A cordial bottle possibly. A quick search suggests 1910 / 1920.

Edit: the PLJ stood for "pure lemon juice". Once sold as as diet aid I believe!

Just need to find a shilling.

I may have one somewhere, but it's unlikely to be a King's one.

A Ginour mask. It's all @Kram 's fault!

A new impact gun after the old sealey finally gave up. As I already have hikoki/hitachi batteries it made sense.
It’s a bit of a beast, only tried it on car wheel nuts so far and it’s like they weren’t there, I’ll give it a go on the lorry nuts and see it gets on

More amazons, holesaws, knotted wire wheel, milwauknee grinder nut. The other 14mm holesaw was refunded so I got another.. but not wanting to risk if theres bits of the old one still in the hole, ground into a two toothed one.

Teeth survived ok but its only mild.

Smaller chips, and no kerf, but it worked well.

@The_Yellow_Ardvark Turns out I have 4 X King's shillings , I'll PM you later, when I'm on the desktop.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

This lot came my way today.

A sad sewing box. In need of some TLC. The drawers are sprung loaded. But the springs are missing or distorted.
It is full..

I have no idea whats in there or what most of it does.

But this was in the lower levals.

I was also given this, from the same lady.

All it needed was 4 x AAA batteries.

 

[The_Yellow_Ardvark]

Theses my trigger some memories of the older members.

Plus a few Mamod spares to repair a Traction Engine.

Sealed End Copper rivets.

Sealed End Copper rivets.

... and again the immortal question:

What material are the pulling parts of these rivets made of?

Thank you very much.

What's this obsession with the golden rivet?

Steel, attached to a steel ball, but a closed copper rivet body.

If it is not steel my magnet can now pick up more than steel
