A couple for your viewing pleasure. A nicely preserved IOM original, plus a modern pattern (part of a set with copper, silver, and this one called 'goldine' aka a brass alloy). Go Victoria!

You don't give a size but that's a farthing and a belter. That absolutely floats my boat. I need to take my photos again:



I love IOM stuff, but a lot of it's had a hard life. I'm guessing the topic was Victoria and I've not changed a topic before but I think everyone's allowed to so the new topic is ISLE OF MAN. I would prefer pre-1900 but if you haven't got any then new stuff will count. Ironic emoticon, I don't smoke.

 

Here's a pretty IOM thing.
