| MARY VEALE HALLINGTON 1793 NORTH DEVON MONEY BOX. |
£SOLD |
A rare 18th Century inscribed money box, made for Mary Veale in 1793 in Hallington Lincolnshire.
Mary was probably born in 1783 in Newton, Devon, and married William Salmon in 1822 in Ossington Nottingham and is recorded as the Inn Keeper in the High street Hallington in the 1841, 51 and 61 Census records, she died aged 87 in 1869. There is a history of Veale's in Lincolnshire, so she may well have been visiting in 1793.
On the potters side, Probably made in North Devon. Around the dog the potter inscribed her name and Hallington but spell't it wrong, so put a line through it and inscribed the front.
It has been brought to our notice of another similar money box dated 1795 and inscribed to a different girl, this lacks the dog figure (lost) and was found in a river in North Devon. |
