Mixed collectables to include penknives, car badges, Robertsons advertising patches, hip flask, portable typewriters and other. [3] These items are listed on the basis they are illustrative of a bygone culture in which there were different social norms. We understand the potential controversy surrounding this type of item but believe that providing transparent information about historical context fosters greater understanding of our complex cultural history. Originally handmade by mothers in Africa for their children from old fabric and cloth, the golly doll was adopted as the mascot and trademark for the Robertson's confectionery brand around 1910 after the company's founder John Robertson visited the US and noticed children playing with them. Robertson's Gollies have been collected by people across the UK and around the world for generations but garnered a contentious image in the 1980s because of links to racism. The trademark was removed from Robertson's branding in 2001.

Ca. 100-300 AD.A glass flask with a spherical body, a short funnel-shaped neck and a wide, flanged profile mouth. At the height of its popularity and usefulness in Rome, glass was present in nearly every aspect of daily life from a lady's morning toilette to a merchant's afternoon business dealings to the evening 'cena' (dinner). Glass was often the preferred material for storing toilette oils, perfumes, and medicines in antiquity because it was not porous. These glass vessels are found frequently at Hellenistic and Roman sites, and the liquids which filled them (perfumes, oils, medicines) would have been gathered from all corners of the expansive Roman Empire.

Ca. 1-300 AD.A group of three Roman glass flasks captivating with their inherent beauty. Amongst this selection, an onion-shaped flask with a distinctive funnel-shaped neck accompanies two slender unguentaria. These unguentaria exhibit an elegant form, featuring piriform lower bodies and elongated cylindrical necks that gracefully culminate in out-turned rims. In the realm of Roman glass production, skilled artisans harnessed their craftsmanship to mold these delicate vessels, exemplifying the ingenuity and technical prowess of the time. Glass flasks, such as those presented here, served multifaceted functions within Roman society. The onion-shaped flask with a funnel-shaped neck likely played a role in the storage and transport of various liquids, such as oils, perfumes, or even precious substances. On the other hand, the slender unguentaria, with their elongated necks and refined profiles, were purpose-built to house and dispense unguent, scented oils treasured for their cosmetic, medicinal, and ritualistic qualities.
