My Quiet Life in Suffolk: T is for Treasure

I’ve had this little chest of drawers for so long as I can keep in mind. Once we had been little it held all of the doll’s cutlery…….. knives, forks and spoons , however it did not have these little brass handles, discovered these a lot later.

I do not know if somebody made it within the 50’s or it is likely to be a lot older – there isn’t any one to ask now.

The grandchildren like to drag the drawers out to have a look at all “The Treasure”!

.

I’ve received cash right here from all all over the world – (though I’ve solely been overseas twice in my entire life) however many are currencies used right here and Europe years in the past.

I don’t know the place they’ve all come from other than  a number of put within the honesty field  on the smallholding when individuals paid for eggs and greens.

The oldest are two cash we discovered below the brick flooring of the very previous home we renovated. We hoped for actual treasure however solely received a penny from 1799 and a halfpenny from 1774  and these big keys for the unique doorways.

The highest drawer has a group of random fine details which have been in there for ages, together with son’s Younger Ornithologists Membership badge – higher give that again to him , despite the fact that he is now 41! 

The place did that enormous metallic hen come from? The one place I can consider was a lamp that my Mum had years in the past – a undersea scene backlit with a bulb and the seagull on high, however certainly not, as that was 50 years in the past.

In the future I need to kind all of it out however within the meantime it is simply treasure for the grandchildren.

Again Tomorrow
