On the finds table was the BRIDGWATER WINE & BRANDY MERCHANTS  flagon and the BRADLEY & BLISS, READING AND PORTSMOUTH POT. Both of these great condition items were bought by Dave in an antique shop. Apparently the Bradley & Bliss chemist is still going since the 1880's. Mick brought along the 6oz ALLEN & LLOYD codd. This size is rarely seen compared to the very common standard size, John brought the TIMOTHY WHITE PORTSMOUTH footwarmer.
