    Small cider keg purchased on the Blackdown Hills, Oxon. The words 'Hoskins Chard' are stamped on the side of the keg.
    Thissmall cider keg was purchased by the donor at a sale on the Blackdown Hills, Oxfordshire. Its small size suggests that it may have been used by a child, rather than by an adult. The words 'Hoskins Chard' are stamped on the side of the keg, perhaps suggesting that the keg was linked originally with a family or company named Hoskins and based in Chard, Somerset.
