Day Two


                                          

                                                               Rotting walls.. ( Inside & Out )

                                                               From the Valley above.

                                                   Tops of fireplaces re-exposed

                                           And everything termite eaten removed


                                           Half Pennies and Pennies dating back to 1876, sugar spoons
                                           and tea spoons, buttons and marbles. The lens from a pair of
                                           spectacles.

                                          A token for a free 'cake' of Palmolive Soap…..all relics of life beside the fire.

This pair of tins, Tobacco and Wax Vestas ( matches ) was found behind the weather boards on a noggin, next to the fireplace.

  1. The small spoon beside the buttons is a mustard spoon. It's post 1825. Bring it down sometime (or send it down with Senior) and I'll date it more accurately for you.
