Included is a vintage brass garden tap featuring a handle cast in the form of a duck. The collection further comprises a black spherical novelty ornament painted with the word BOMB in white lettering. Natural history specimens include two large sea shells, appearing to be King Helmet (Cassis) shells, and a specimen of brain coral.
