Found two broken ceramic jars, kept the lids as they looked like Sterling silver. Later researched the hallmarks, and confirmed to be Sterling. According to the hallmark database on English silver these were made in London in the year 1905!

This is a very old gilded compact I found in the same area, it looks to be from the very early 1900's. It is made of gold-plated Sterling. It is stamped 'Wadsworth Sterling'.

I heard scratching in my attic a few days ago, I put a trap up there and so far I've caught 5 squirrels, this is one of them. I release them in the park about 5 miles away from my house so they don't come back to the attic.
