This box also contains what appears to be 10 small Pills albeit somewhat dessicated - see photos.

Rare Navy patrol cap or hat band from World War Two measuring about 61cm long and 5cm wide. One end was adjusted to shorten it slightly for the last wearer and so it could be adjusted longer for a larger hat/cap.

Three EPNS gravy/dressing/soup ladles made in Sheffield, England in about 1890 to 1920 by two English cutlers, viz Wingfield & Rowbotham (2) and E. Bradley.
