Elizabeth II, Carpenter & Howlet Gold Plated Sixpence

Here we present a Carpenter & Howlett enamelled Halfpences from 1975. The Halfpence was issued between 1971 and 1984, but the 1972 and 1984 were not issued for circulation and the 1983 was withdrawn quickly from circulation.

The English Civil War (1642-1651) was the first conflict fought on English soil using handheld firearms en masse with a tactic called ‘Pike and Shot’. This meant a large formation of infantry with guns firing and pike defending against attack. Most lead ammunition was made using hand moulds by the men who used it. This makes every ball different, made to the requirements of the man and his gun. Over lockdown we had a chance to sort out and found an old box of this shot. Here we offer pistol balls from the English Civil War, we priced these to please. Each will come with a certificate of Authenticity. Get some of the first bullets Made in Britain.

We have not had any of these huge King George III 1797 Cartwheel Twopence paperweights for years. They are huge, 12cm / 5 inches in diameter, and are struck in Proof copper. They come in a capsule and are heavy which is what you want from a paperweight. They will look great on your desk, at home or at work. When we originally had them, they sold out quickly. Our supplier told us that if he had to make them today, we would have to charge £79.50 for them! But as many of you know, Richard never lets what a supplier says stop him. He bought them all, so the supplier gave us a good deal! They make fantastic presents, especially at our original price of just £49.50! Get them while you can, once they are gone there will not be any more made, especially at our price of just £49.50 each for these Proof beauties.
