        I’m wondering if the first two are: iron clever [cleaver] and bacon rack. It may be a poorly drawn c in both bacon and clever. In the 1st image Is that ‘one slice’ in the line above? If so, the c seems the same? How do you read that one?
        2nd image upper and lower case both used for R in rack. There’s a rack of knives above it? The descender ‘of’ interfers with the k? There’s a similar k in knives.

        Of course, I may be completely wrong.

          Thank you, iron clever [cleaver] sounds good, and now you have pointed it out Rack is obvious though not sure if it is for bacon or a bason.

            I've been looking at other inventories online and I've found bacon rack but not sure what a bason rack would be unless is a local name to Sussex. Or perhaps they meant basin rack?

                I'm transcribing another inventory from 1640 which has a rack of bacon, which of course is a side of bacon so rather than a piece of equipment or furniture I think this must be the answer.
