Shrapnel and Rare Books
One of our favourite customers and good friend called in with a box of rare treasure yesterday. Something you don't see every day of the week.
As well as her Identity Card and Ration book from the war period, the box contained some rather deadly looking chunks of shrapnel that she had picked up as a young girl during the Blitz.
