See Mitchiner, M., Medieval Pilgrim & Secular Badges, London, 1986, p.278-9. 112 grams, 10.7 cm (4 1/4 in.). Billy and Charlies, also known as the Shadwell forgeries, refer to a very extensive series of fake antiquities made in Victorian London by William Smith (Billy) and Charles Eaton (Charley). They were mudlarks who searched the Thames for items of value. William Edwards, a London antique dealer, made Billy's acquaintance around about 1845, and he met Charley some years later. He paid them for items of interest that they found. Billy and Charley earned money from this until 1857, when they decided to counterfeit antiquities. They cast objects from lead or pewter, cutting dies into plaster of Paris moulds with nails and knives, and bathing the finished items in acid to simulate aging. Their commonest products were medallions, but others included daggers, statuettes, ampullae and even small shrines; as they were both illiterate the inscriptions on many of the objects are nonsense. They sold their forgeries to very prominent collectors of the time who thought they were genuine. Eventually, due to the large volume of objects that were appearing on the market, they were arrested and tried at court though they could not be found guilty of any crime at the time. They were released and carried on producing fakes but their style of manufacture had become well known and they eventually disappeared from history.From the collection of the famous author, writer and speaker, Gordon Bailey, Essex, UK; formed since 1968.

4th-5th century A.D.. Comprising: an amphora-shaped strap end decorated with rings and dots, the centre ornamented by a star surrounded by small dots and circles; a shield-shaped strap end, with a concave crescent on each side; an openwork decorated fitting with a kidney shaped motif in each quarter; a shield-shaped decorated strap end, with kidney-shaped openwork design; and a propeller shaped mount. Cf. Bailey, G., Detector Finds 6, fig.C11.7, for a similar belt propeller. Bailey, G., Detector Finds 7, Witham, 2011, pp.67 and 70, fig.1; Detector Finds 6, pp.41,54, for all items except the belt propeller. 75 grams total, 29-66 mm (1 1/8- 2 1/2 in.). In Britain like in all of the West, all the elements intended for the embellishment of belts and harnesses also evolved towards new forms, the geometry of which bears witness to strong Germanic influences. Beside the typical propeller stiffener belts (Richborough), probably of Danubian origin, we have less ornate wide-belt types, represented by the Winchester example. Belt-plaques of triangular shape, often gilded, beast-shaped at the extremity, were excavated in the south of Britain (Cirencester). Rigid belt-plates with the buckle shaped like a dolphin came from Richborough, Wye and Sleaford (class 3, type B, Sommer), Tripontium, Mucking, Wycombe, Alwalton (type I-B, Hawkes, also in Richborough) and type Mainz, Savgar, Totanés (Colchester, often with associated propeller stiffeners). Type Hawkes I-A and I-B present similarities with the Simancas typologies, found in Lankhills. The type Tirig is attested at Lydney Park, the Böhme A in Richborough. Strap ends are usually heart-shaped or amphora-shaped (Richborough). These belt fittings were characteristic of the Roman army in Britain at the beginning of the 5th century.From the collection of the famous author, writer and speaker, Gordon Bailey, Essex, UK; formed since 1968.

1st-4th century A.D.. Iron shoe with lateral curved plates with attachment rings rear panel with bar also for attachment. Cf. Junkelmann, M., Die Reiter Roms, Teil III: Zubehor, Reitweise Bewaffnung, Mainz, 1992, fig.100-102, for the type (type I of Junkelmann's classification). 363 grams, 15 cm (6 in.). Hipposandals (soleae ferreae) were used on horses with injured hooves, a sort of equine orthopaedic shoe used by the mulomedicus, i.e. a Roman military veterinarian. Another important function was that to protect the hooves of the horse from injuries and damages from hard objects. The hippo sandal of type 1 was formed from a sub-oval plate which tapered towards the front and rear with projections at the front, back and on either side. The heel was upturned at about 45 degrees and flared outwards. It would have terminated with a downward facing hook, now missing. The base of the sole was flat.From the collection of the famous author, writer and speaker, Gordon Bailey, Essex, UK; formed since 1968. [No Reserve]
13th-14th century A.D.. Discoid in shape with central eight-petalled flower within a roundel, surrounding 'S’ THOME FIL WALTE = SEAL OF THOMAS SON OF WALTER' legend. Cf. Bailey, G., Detector Finds, Witham, 1999, p.55, fig.18, for a similar seal. 95 grams, 12.5 x 12.5 cm (5 x 5 in.). During the medieval period the use of seals on documents, letters and packages became widespread. Lead was cheap to use and easy to engrave, and from the late 12th until the end of 13th century seals of this type, with very conventional central designs, were important possessions amongst the lower classes.From the collection of the famous author, writer and speaker, Gordon Bailey, Essex, UK; formed since 1968.

6th-15th century A.D.. Comprising: a 6th century Dark Age round gilded brooch; a 15th century medieval bronze swivel hook with domed shaped gilded top; and a 11th-12th century copper-alloy chape with plain top half, the lower part ending in a wolf’s head covered with small indentations and raised ears, with a small suspension loop on the snout. Cf. Bailey, G., Detector finds 7, Witham, 2011, fig.3a&b, p.103, for similar medieval gilded studs. Bailey, G., Detector finds 6, Witham, 2008, pp.3,5-6, fig.C1.12, for the gilded swivel hook or stud; Bailey, G., Detector finds 7, Witham, 2011, fig.28, p.102, for the medieval strap end. 35 grams total, 27-65 mm (1 - 2 1/2 in.). Most of the strap ends recovered in Britain date from the 12th century onwards, this being the period when they were widely used by both men and women. The strap end was made from various metals including bronze, copper (normally gilded, silvered or tinned) pewter, tin, silver, gold and iron. Our specimen, probably dated to 11th-12th century A.D., continue the style of the Anglo-Viking beast mounts of the previous centuries.From the collection of the famous author, writer and speaker, Gordon Bailey, Essex, UK; formed since 1968.

However, it wasn't until around 1350 that thimbles became objects of everyday use in England.From the collection of the famous author, writer and speaker, Gordon Bailey, Essex, UK; formed since 1968.
