LARGE RARE & UNUSUAL, LATE 16th. / EARLY 17th. CENTURY BRASS NUREMBERG ALMS DISH
LARGE RARE & UNUSUAL, LATE 16th. BRASS NUREMBERG ALMS DISH. A superb very large, rare and unusual hand wrought brass alms dish made, I would guess, in South Germany and dates from the late 16th. To the early 17th. It is depicted as the mentioned large hand beaten dish with a relief image of what looks to be two men carrying a brasier looks to me like a giant strawberry! But was told is. In fact the spies Joshua and Caleb returning with the grapes of Caleb on poles on a domed central panel surrounded by a band of chased leaves. While its inner and outer borders are decorated with relief lozenges etc. The reverse has a later added brass suspension point- see photographs and details. It measures 17 1/4 (44cm) Dia. Approx; and is in quite good condition for an item of its age and type, although it does have some faults. As you would expect it has various very old repairs and there is wear to its surface to report – see photographs and details. This is a wonderful piece of very early European metalwork with a superb, unusual hand planished image which is in great original condition for an item of its type and age and with a realistic, yet still low, start price should get considerable interest from all collectors. I must apologise for the poor set of photographs which, try as I might, don’t display its obvious age at all well. Under photographic lights the images look almost polished, which is most definitely not the case, in fact the face surface has the patina you would expect from a piece of its age, while the reverse is almost black? THERE IS NO RESERVE ON THIS SALE. Almost everything I sell is in the condition I have bought it, unless otherwise stated, (I have learnt to my cost in the past not to tamper with an item), and therefore I have neither had items repaired nor restored. I will endeavour to report on an item which has had either; however I take no responsibility if an item has been tampered with and I cannot detect it. Please don’t waste your time asking for a b. I will dispatch goods on clearance of any of the above. I do not accept – non UK. All parcels are well packed and protected with strong boxes, bubble wrap and packaging peanuts where necessary. So please read them carefully as they are binding. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need additional information.

This very rare raw tin Antique Alms Keeper’s Bank is a real find. The condition is almost extraordinary, since the original fabric screen (used so the coins could not be shaken out) is still intact. The hinge is beautifully made as is the hasp for the padlock which supposedly kept the coins for the poor. All in all a real rarity for a collection of early American tin or banks. 2.4 Diameter (base).
