Doe and Hope

Description

To include a mixed seventy one piece collection of fossils, rocks and mineral specimens, plus a small collection of coins, artifacts and antiquities.

The condition of the specimens is good with most remaining intact there are two or three with chips or small cracks.

Examples include geodes, Derbyshire Blue John Ammonite, a flint arrow head, a thimble, a 14thC armorial harness pendant, conical and cylindrical examples, plus two annotated samples inscribed Knaresbo ? 1891 and another labeled reading ‘from the mountains of, August 9th 1925 - Polly’. The link to Spain is explained by the Spanish vesta case present and the small haul of Spanish coinage.

This eclectic collection is varied and rich in intrigue and could be called upon to form the bedrock of any cabinet of curiosity.
