Additional items include a small three-pronged fork with a dark handle, a decorative corkscrew with a cast foliate handle, and a cast brass bottle opener marked Made in England. A circular horse brass is present, featuring a central sunburst motif and embossed with the characters Jarvis Stoke Barton around the perimeter. A small cast figurine of a Lincoln Imp completes the group. The items are constructed from cast and wrought brass, with the shovels and tongs featuring characteristic reeded globular finials.
