Quickly dragged a few oddities off shelves for a pic ..... this is a potentially really interesting thread .... too good to succumb to drift so young.

Couple here I know little about so, who knows, the assembled wisdom may prove useful.

They are:

Slightly disturbing figure (possibly charm/fetish) made from a vertebrae of a horse(or similar sized creature.)

Blue candle snuffer ... dug up in my garden when I lived in Yorkshire

Old Microscope

Flint Knapping stone ... found with the previous arrow heads and was the tool used to chip away and make them.

Unknown bronze thing .... looks oriental (Chinese?) .... guess it's an incense burner (tho did for a while think it might be a sand-shaker they used before blotting paper ... but who knows)

As you can see I'm more intrigued by the curious rather than expensive antiques smile
