Penny is an early Georgian piece. Evident of the construction and handle form.

She has markings of letter R and a bell shape
Her insides have signs of patina and verdigris
Penny is in great condition especially compared to others found on the open market
Today more suited as a candle snuffer, to cover whole candle like a cloche until the black smoke smoke disappears.
