An amazing pirate collection!
Well, folks, all i can say is I am humbled. The following collection of maritime weaponry and sundry items is on par with most museums. Steve Bunker at China Sea Trading was kind enough to send me pics of his private cache (which also reminded me of my own meager stockpile- Hope you pirate enthusiasts out there enjoy! And you know who you are!
First off, two early 18th c. sextants. Note the ivory inlay and lack of a securing screw found on later examples. |
