  • Latest Ebay find pictures

    Not really research but wanted to share

    Just a couple of pics showing the latest family item purchased on Ebay, this one is known as a Bullet Stopper.

    The inscription is "P R Goulson, Queen's Hotel, Retford", date wise it's sometime between 1879 and 1883, any earlier and Page was unmarried, any later and he was in Lincoln.

    Roughly 10 inches tall and 3 inches across the base, made in Conisboro by the Kilner Brothers, if memory serves that takes me back to the first WDYTYA that I watched featuring Jeremy Clarkson.

        Discount the certs, census, probate and photographs, along with the hundreds of newspaper articles with the name (I would need a satellite to catch that lot in one photo) but here is the rest of the collection of items, from the 2013 book by my cousin, a 1920's postcard and an assortment of slightly later bottles bearing the P R Goulson name

            My piggy bank is empty just now, I'm hoping the seller hasn't got any more tucked away and starts offering them just yet. Roll on the hospital appointment next week and maybe a chance to get back to work, been off ill since before christmas with stomach problems of all things.
