Early Items reference General Beresford of 'Beresford's Fancy' Fame..and have been added to over time by members of the family. The items were handed down and purchased from a descendant. There is a letter containing Horsehair Signed by the General (Interestingly there was an item of General Beresford's Horsehair in the Kelson Kit - currently overseas after being purchased at Mullocks). Although the origins were clearly in early 1800s the bulk of the items are from late 1800s-early 1900s and reflect the more diverse use of materials from that period.

​

Beresford County New South Wales is named in his honour!

Some of the Tools are Sterling Silver from the period!
