A bronze Polden Hill brooch of the Dolphin Type variant with hollow lugs to the head to encase the spring, and tapering lower body with raised median ridge featuring chevron design, pin housed in catch to the reverse. 8.8 grams, 42mm (1 1/2). From the private collection of Antony John Scammell (1937-2019), acquired from Den of Antiquity, Cambridge, UK, in 2016, accompanied by a copy of the original invoice and guarantee. Antony John Scammell (1937-2019) was born, and lived his entire life, in the city of Bristol, England. Already from an early age he was enthralled by history and the heroes that it created. While serving overseas with the British Army, Antony began collecting coins and banknotes and this led to collecting a variety of different items throughout his life. From the early 1960s onward, Antony invested in acquiring ancient artefacts. Antony's vast collections started with Egyptian antiquities, but soon branched into Greek and Roman civilisations. The Roman civilisation fascinated him most and, when family commitments allowed, archaeological digs were coordinated in the west of England. These digs uncovered numerous artefacts, many of which were donated to local museums. In retirement, the collecting continued apace, branching into UK coins, British Empire banknotes and fossils.
