"Unveiling the Past: A Collection of Stubs and Stories" From the towering Eddystone Lighthouse, standing proudly south of Plymouth in Devon, to the ill-fated RMS Titanic, these humble stubs hold fragments of history within their grasp. Each one tells a tale, offering glimpses into moments long gone. A faded receipt and stub from the Titanic takes us back to that fateful night when dreams turned into tragedy. It serves as a poignant reminder of lives lost and stories untold. The programme cover from Chessington Zoo & Circus transports us to a time filled with wonder and excitement. The laughter of children echoes through its worn edges, reminding us of simpler days spent marveling at exotic creatures. A ticket stub from the Folies Bergere in Paris whisks us away to an era of glamour and allure. The vibrant lights dance before our eyes as we imagine ourselves immersed in the enchantment only found within those hallowed walls. In contrast, a last cigarette stub from "New York Blues" brings forth images of gritty streets and melancholic melodies. It captures a moment frozen in time - an artist's final exhale before stepping onto another stage. A New Year card shaped like a candle in a bottle evokes feelings of warmth and hope for brighter days ahead. Its delicate design reminds us that even amidst darkness, there is always light waiting to be kindled anew. JBO23616WT03 etched on metal carries with it an air of mystery - perhaps belonging to some secret code or forgotten treasure map hidden away for centuries. Its true meaning remains locked behind closed doors, leaving room for imagination to run wild. An ordinary tree stump holds secrets untold beneath its rough exterior - tales whispered by nature itself over countless years. It stands as a silent witness to generations past; each ring telling stories etched deep within its core. A concert ticket engraved with Mary's Chapel offers entrance into an ethereal world of music and devotion.
