An oak inkwell carved from Lutine timber, dated 1799
About the Item
This large and historically interesting inkwell, or standish, is carved from timber recovered from the wreck of H.M.S. Lutine. It has a central inkwell, with a bud and oakleaf cover, supported by three dolphins within a circular dish within a ribbon tied wreath. The inkwell is carved with two escutcheons bearing the arms of Lloyds of London and the dish with ‘1799 La Lutine’. English, circa 1860.
Height: 8 ¾ in (22cm) Diameter: 13in (33cm)
The Lutine, a prize taken in 1793, was a 5th rate battleship of 32-guns. She was wrecked on a bank near Vlieland, Holland in 1799 with a vast fortune in gold on board. Much of this was subsequently recovered in 1860, along with artefacts including her famous bell, which now hangs at Lloyds of London, and is still rung every time a ship insured by them is lost.

An Early Charity Container from an Agudath Israel Convention
Located in New York, NY
This unique vintage pushka (charity box) is a rare historical piece from an Agudath Israel convention held in early 20th-century Europe, possibly near Switzerland. The design and inscriptions suggest that it was distributed to attendees as a keepsake and functional charity collection box.
The pushka is made of tin, crafted by the European company Gebr. Hoffman, which began producing tins in 1904 in Thun, Switzerland. The two halves of the box fit together seamlessly, ensuring a secure closure. One side features an embossed design resembling an early 20th-century Swiss coin, with a large "1" encircled by a laurel wreath. Below the number, a narrow slit allows for the insertion of coins, making it a practical donation container.
The reverse side of the tin bears...
