Admiral Lord Nelson, 1805, a pinchbeck turned box, plain undecorated lid, sides with military trophies &c in tablets, the base from the reverse of a medal signed M and P, CONQUEROR OF ABOUKIR, etc., 53mm (cf. BHM 580, and footnote). Only fine but an interesting piece of Nelsonic memorabilia (£40-60)

The medal may be partly the work of N. Marchant, but the P in the signature is thought unlikely to have a connection with a member of the Pingo family
