Lot 275
A pitted and polished circular pewter plate 9", a Caxton inkwell 2", a pewter measure (f) 3", an Eastern engraved pewter trinket box, butter knives £5-10

The condition of this lot is not good. The plate seems to have been cleaned with something abrasive as it is gleaming. The inkwell has a dent to one side, the Eastern trinklet box has been dropped and is dented, the knives are not pewter and the only piece that would ordinarily be of interest as it is old, is the measure which has a large repair running just under the widest part of the bowl.
