Does anyone recognize the items in the two attachments?
One has been used as a candleholder, but I don't know if that was the original intent. About 8 inches tall, it is inscribed on its body with the letters
HMS
TBD
FERN
I have found reference to an HMS Fern, apparently a torpedo boat destroyer, built in 1897, decommissioned in 1919. Would this be something from that ship? It's use? The second photo is of a another item, also about 8 inches tall, and it appears to be something that would be handy in bar fight, but I have no idea what it is.
If anyone is hesitant to open the attachments (understand that!) email me at
[email protected] and I will send the pics in the body of an email.
Thanks,
