Rolling Pin

White glass rolling pin painted in red, green and gold. A centre panel is inscribed: 'A Present from / your Brother / 1859'. On either side, two views of the same schooner-rigged vessel, each with the name 'CHARLES WESLEY' below, one shown in calm weather, the other under reduced sail in rough seas. The 1859 'Lloyd's Register' lists four schooners of that name. Family stories suggest a link with Liverpool.
