A very rare, early Rowntree of York Mr Punch chocolate tin, still retaining its original chocolate contents. The tin of small stature, and fashioned as a traditional Punch & Judy tent. A small lever to the right hand side operates Mr Punch, and allows him to lean forward with his usual truncheon. His dog, Toby, sits to the left hand side. Printed to the front of the tent is ‘Rowntree York’ and ‘Regd in Great Britain’. The original chocolate contents, albeit now somewhat concealed, remains inside the tin, still wrapped in grease proof paper. Approximately 7.3cm x 3.5cm x 2.1cm. Condition: generally very good. As is usually seen, the gilt plating to the brass alloy base has worn in places, and there is a little wear to the printed area to the front of the tent, and to the side. As mentioned above, the chocolate content is now spoiled.

Bristol Interest – William IV brass ball-headed truncheon or tipstaff, the shaft engraved ‘R Bryant BRISTOL Oct 30 1831’ (the date of the Bristol Riots), with treen handle, 33cm long, together with three related books - 'City Under Fire' by Geoffrey Amey, 'Hotheads and Heroes' by Peter Macdonald and 'The Bristol Riots' by Susan Thomas The Bristol riots of 29th – 31st October 1831 were some of the largest and most significant in British history. Incensed by local magistrate Sir Charles Wetherall’s claim that Bristol was against electoral reform, hundreds took to the streets on 29 October, attacking prominent buildings culminating in the looting and burning of the Mansion House. In response, on the morning of October 30th, the Mayor of Bristol, Charles Pinney ordered a posse comitatus to be formed. This had little immediate effect as fewer than 200 volunteers answered the call and the night of the October 30th saw even worse disorder, including the burning of properties in and around Queen Square and the freeing of prisoners in the city's jails. This provoked the middle class into action and some 3,000 men reported for duty in the posse comitatus on the following morning.
