A JAMES II SILVER BOUGIE BOX MAKER'S MARK OBSCURED, CIRCA 1665 With a pull off domed cover, engraved with an armorial 7.5cm (3in) 108g (3.5 oz)Provenance: The executor's of the late Derek StraussThe arms are for the MICKLETHWAITE family of Yorkshire. A family of some standing locally and later nationally, who in the eighteenth century were created first Barons and later Viscounts. Being portrayed in a lozenge the arms are for a lady, usually unmarried but the early date may mean that she was married. The owner of this item is likely to be an immediate descendant of Joseph MICKLETHWAITE (1594-1658) a JP of Swine in Holderness, Yorkshire by his wife Anne LEVETT (1590-1653) widow of Christopher TOPHAM daughter of Percevall LEVETT of York. He had four children who survived to their maturity: A son and heir JOHN MICKLETHWAITE (1628-1660) a barrister of the Inner Temple who married Barbara MIDDLETON (born 1636) daughter of Timothy MIDDLETON of Stansted Mount-Fitchet, Essex and had issue Anne (born 1654) and Joseph (born 1656). At the date of assay Anne would have been a possible owner being eleven years of age. Possibly her mother Barbara, then a widow, could also be a candidate as owner; There were also three daughters: Anne (born 1630) who married Hartington FONTAYNE date unknown but likely to be before 1665, Dorothy (born 1658) who in 1658 married Thomas STILLINGTON and Elizabeth (born 1635) who in 1663 possibly married Nicholas WALSHW. Unfortunately, this leaves two possibilities Barbara and her daughter Anne. Condition Report: The age has been derived from the style of the piece and the engraving, it is also the expert opinion of our silver consultant Ian Pickford. The engraving is crisp, there is some general wear commensurate with age and use, scuffs and scratches to the top where the wick comes through, some small knocks as to be expected. The box is late 17th century, we cannot confirm that the snuffer section to the box lid for the wax is not original, and maybe a later adaptation. Any alterations to this box wouldn't fall within British hallmarking laws as it is not a fully hallmarked piece. Our research has not revealed any suggestions for the makers mark it is impossible to decipher the conjoined initials, it is not in Grimwade or Jacksons. Condition Report Disclaimer

She was one of the first women to get a licence in her own name on her own – which must have been a proud moment – which I am still proud of.Auntie Kay never loved again, he broke her heart.Auntie was a great animal lover and stabled her own horses and others at the back of the hotel. The hotel always had a resident dog or two walking around these ranged from the mongrel to jack Russell’s to Dalmatians. I remember going to see her at her home after retiring from the WH and she had a portrait done of all of each of her animals normally at the WH and she used to share her fun with that animal at the white heart – I loved hearing about it.Auntie Kay loved supporting local charities and as a landlady she always had something going to collect for others. She supported local community charities Hayle Rugby football Club as well as the RSPCA (there are a photo of the collections at WH).Auntie Kay ran the hotel for 32 years only leaving as it was sold in 1977.Auntie Kay was a gently happy soul who always had a smile for everyone and tried to help out where she could.This box of goodies about the White Heart Hotel has been handed down through the generations but we would love it to be on display somewhere as it has great historic memories of Hayle and the hotel.
