derek Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Can anyone help with a piece of old brassware? It is a square tube about six inches long, it is engraved on one side with the name Thomas beighton, Merchant 1655. The other side has the words "I was in Sheffield made and many will witness I was not made by any man". It has been described as a Scribe Box, I am not convinced the date is genuine, or what it's function is. Has any one heard of Thomas Beighton, or can anyone throw any light on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D McKeon Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Hello - If you still have that item, you may want to have an expert look at it. It might be a reproduction, or it might be one of these: (prepend http and :// ) collections.vam.ac.uk/name/madin-thomas/1990/ va.goodformandspectacle.com/things/9265 I found your post when searching for the inscribed phrase which I saw last week on a museum display poster in Jamestown, Virginia. best wishes from California, ride safe, & good luck, Denis McKeon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
