Hi, we found these old leaflets. One is a leaflet for an Ironmongery in Penzance and it seems like the shop is called/owned by Sampson R.Taylor. The other is a church prayer booklet that seems to date back to 1833 (William IV's reign?). There's links to them below for photos. Thanks =]

  1. The ironmongery leaflet is nothing special. Lots of advertising leaflets like this were produced at the end of the 19th century, as paper and printing got cheaper.

    The "general thanksgiving" is much more interesting. It was produced after the end of a nasty cholera epidemic. The epidemic stated in 1831, coming to England from Germany. In good condition and complete the leaflet would probably sell for £30 or so.
