Due to the Georgian super old discovery/startling Antiques Roadshow-style moment the other precious items available won't be going live till 9. Sorry about that, but will post when they're up in my shop xxx

I've been researching the hallmark on this beautiful messenger bag-style stamp holder (the only one that didn't sell last night so has been sitting in my etsy shop all day rather forlorn) and 1) it's a Chester hallmark (highly collectible) and 2) was made in...wait for it...(see next post)...
