"Hello? Hello? Do you have Prince Albert in the can?" Stopped at the Old Fort Antique Mall in Fort Chiswell, VA off I-81. An enjoyable break from traveling. #antiquestore #antiquing #tincan #collectables #collectable #fortchiswell #Virginia https://www.instagram.com/p/BmjSBvznVyR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1s3tb08g7ugz4

English Gold Noble, King Edward III, London mint, C. 1369-1377

The obverse with Edward standing on the deck of a ship, facing the viewer and brandishing sword and shield, decorated with coat of arms of England and France. The legend reading: EDWARD DEI GRA REX AIIGL’ 7 FRAIIC D hYB. The reverse with ornate cross with lis at ends and E in center, surrounded by crowned lions. The legend reading:  +IhC AVTEm TRAIISIEIIS P mEDIVm ILLORVm IBAT.

The obverse image of Edward within a ship is believed to have originally been designed to commemorate the famous Battle of Sulys, one of the opening clashes of the Hundred Years War and one of England’s earliest and most famous naval victories. In the brutal hand-to-hand fighting Edward was wounded by a crossbow bolt, yet he ultimately led the English in a crushing victory against the supposedly superior French fleet. Such was the scale of the victory that for years afterwards the English joked the fish were speaking French because of the number of bodies in the sea. No doubt those who handled this coin were reminded of the jest and the scale of this momentous victory.

Received this remarkable little book today. It’s inscribed “To Katie, from your only bro James, Xmas 1899.” Beneath that my brother inscribed it “To Elizabeth, from your only bro Andrew, Xmas 2015.” Awesome.

Now why can't I run across something like this when out on one of our thrift and antique crawls?

Bradley’s New Number Builder by Milton Bradley, No. 8074. Box has seen plenty of wear, including crayon scribbles on the top. There are 5 alphabetic dice…I wonder if they are original to the game and if there was a sixth die? I’ve found references to this teaching tool as early as 1907 and others dated between 1930-1945. However, I haven’t been able to find this particular model number to tie down a specific date. Anyone know how MB numbered their products?

A child's night light we ran across whilst out on an antique crawl in Ohio. Trying to imagine waking up in the middle of the night and seeing this watching over me. Left her in the store.
