Bit off the wall for me this one, I've come into this piece, which I've been told is rare and valuable. I can find next to nothing about it, except I think it is made between 1894 and 1926. I don't even know what it is, it has a strange screw type removable top, so I expect it is to keep something secure or airtight, maybe tea or perhaps herbs/spices (I'm guessing). Its about 5inches tall. At first I thought it was an ashtray, but the indents around the lip are simply to locate the metal clamp to release the top! So, can anyone help me with this please, links, value, etc etc

Like I said, each to their own....... Easier to bait, easier to set, more reliable hit! My experience! -

Got my first call for Bees about 10 days ago! I get very few calls for the bees generally! -
Taking a camera is a good idea sometimes...a picture paints a thousand words!

We are overrun with them round my way, and to be honest they are my favourite to eat. What we lack is the CWD, none round my way at all!!

Back in the early 1980's I actually spent 3 days working side by side with him, never picked up an inkling. He actually seemed a decent, witty, chatty bloke, seems I got that a bit wrong!!!!

'Big cat' seen chasing animal in a tree in West Country Story by Emma Grimshaw • Yesterday 13:00 It's not just in Gloucestershire where 'big cats' are spotted© Sarah Cheriton-Jones/Getty Awoman has described th

Dead right, remember that works both ways, there are those that believe 100% yet have NO EVIDENCE!!!! Perhaps proof would stop all the non believers, people only question because there is no tangible evidence, but some keep throwing speculation forward and get upset when others question them!!!
-
This thread is going the same way as the last and will no doubt end in the same way. Those who believe, throw up any scrap of drunken evidence, pet cat sightings, cardboard cut-outs, blurred pictures from miles away and speculative DNA that could have come from anywhere, then throw their toys out of the pram when someone dares to suggest they are not convinced! I am very happy to see some EVIDENCE. Not a single TV program in the modern era has shown evidence (despite every program saying they will prove their existence). For the believers, I am happy for you to continue believi

Really.......... and exactly where did the hair come from, that report is about as unscientific and inconclusive as you can get!
-
Doesn't matter which expert has been on the BBC/ITV/Amazon/Etc/Etc/Etc....none of them has shown any evidence yet. Every time I hear of a program about British Big cats, I know its just going to be a waste of time!!! Not a single one (in the modern age) has delivered yet!

......they said, "they are everywhere, out from about lunchtime, all afternoon and evening, and not scared of us at all................" Well, you guessed it, nearly 6 hours on site I saw a TOTAL of 3, and 3 didn't go home. The formal gardens were ok but the field was a joke, couldn't see a thing, a fox could have strolled through undetected, the grass was that high!!

I still don't use them at all, and frankly I don't want to, but pressure is steadily mounting, so I suspect it is just a matter of time!

Coincidentally 258 is my longest with HMR. One time only, not sure I've ever been past 200 other than that (In the field). I mentioned it, being very pleased with myself, to a RFD a while later and he said his best was 285!

If the owner had done what he was told it would never have happened! I feel sorry in some ways for the dogs, but blame lies with the owner!!!!

Yep, thought that may be a bit easier, enlarged it's quite clear. Last one for a while, who knows if there will be a follow up!

She must have seen it coming!!!!!!

Last one for a while in the occasional series...... I think you'll get this one quite quickly!!

His last mistake/picture, stopping and posing for the Camera...not knowing I was there waiting for him to wander to that end of the garden!!!

It's hiding in plain sight..... you will all kick yourselves when I show you!

No..... answer to follow in due course, I thought this one was going to be easy!!!

Following the roaring success of Spot the Fox , here is the next instalment...this one is easy!!!! Can you see him?????

And the winner is !!!!!! Yep, tip of his tail and you can just about make out some of his front as well. A hard spot!!!
