Nothing to do with anything, but we do love banjos! Mines an Ome Tenor!
Ephemera and Collectables

Stuff we think is interesting or perhaps relevent. It's all stuff that comes and goes.

We hope you like it!

It may not be homebrew but it's probably got a link to wine or beer some where!

Double Diamond Plate

!

Nice plate, 8" Diameter.

Double diamond! Wow! Might have been an ashtray but doesn't have any grooves in it for your fags. Few crackles in the glaze but no chips or cracks. A heavy plate, like thick canteen stuff!

 

Boxed Alcohol Hydrometer Sykes

!

Old hydrometer for measuring alcohol in distilled products.Boxed in what I think is a mahogany box.

Incomplete- Missing a couple of weights and the thermometer.

Has the slide rule for calculating the difference in temperature on proof.

The hydrometer is brass with small weights, but there's two missing!

Inlaid badge on lid reads- Sykes Hydrometer, Spencer and Son Dublin

A nice thing to own in an atrractive box.                                                                    

Measure 25 x12 Cms

Heavy Brass Advertising Plate

Whitbread and Company advertising brass plate.

Weighs over 3kg. Looks like it was screwed to the wall outside a pub door.

Solid brass, with the Hinds Head!

Old Wooden Pump Handle

!

Just the pump handle and the brass base- There's no pump!!

We've sold a few to people who have them as display pieces on the bar!

They were screwed to the beer engine, the handle is wood.

The handle is loose on the brass as the pump held it all together.

33 Cm long

Small Schweppes Willow Pattern Bowl

Small shallow bowl, 12cm made by Barrats

No chips or cracks. Too small for an ashtray. Must have been used round the bar for something.

Possibly to keep the lemon slices in!
