So what is new with Davoc and Anne.
For starters Davoc is now a musician who plays his tin whistle up at the Cliffs of Moher for all the visitors there. He runs a session of music in Miltown Malbay every Wednesday night at which up to fifteen fine musicians and singers participate.
Anne has formed a Song Circle which meets every couple of weeks and is proving to be a great evening of song and good fun. We gather every second Thursday at the OAC house on the Flag Road in Miltown Malbay. We put the kettle on and with cups of tea to hand we go round the circle singing. The only rule we have is that there are no rules! Any song, hymn, sean-nos song, blues, pop, jazz, opera, ballad, folk, poem, what ever you want to sing or say is just fine by us! On any given night we could do up to thirty songs and it is the nicest way to pass an evening, calming, quiet, and sometimes full of laughter. Let the music keep your spirits high. Check it out here…..

Davoc’s debut album The Humours of Ennistymon will shortly be released on his own label. You can read about this under Stories……….
Ireland Country Antiques home of Irish Celt. On eBay, we endeavour to list items of interest including primary source documents, anything relating to recent Irish History and Irish Life, items of folk art, memorabilia and collectables. Our mission is to awaken memories from another era!
Watch Anne & Davoc chat about using eBay >>
We wallow in Irish made items from another era – a real flavour of the past – something to remind all the Irish exiles, emigrants, wanderers and travellers of the old home sod. We love to include in our photographs and descriptions, snippets of Irish history, to mull over.
Ireland must be the only country in the world that has a population of five million, but over forty million people boast to the world that they are Irish. Ye are the great and grand people we want to address and send out pieces to, of the old Ireland your ancestors left behind.
In 1998 we first encountered eBay and it was very quaint! Since then we have photographed, measured, described, packed, parcelled and shipped thousands of items to the four corners of the globe.
I just bought some coins from you and they were in (Sticky backed) 2 X 2 ‘s, can you tell me where you get them, I found one web site but the telephone number had been changed. I would appreciate it much if you could help me find some as yours are the first I’ve ever seen used by any of my contacts in the coin business.
O, I got your chicken and pig coin, and probably some more, they were the most memorable. thanks fred

Hi i have a strick matador antique knitting machine from 1960. Origional box and instructions? Im looking to get it valued with the intent to sell. Unfortunetly i have no clue how to go about this? any help would be fantastic.
Thank you for contacting us. Sorry to say that this item is really not old enough to be classified as an antique. Try a local auction house. Greetings – D
Wonderful site you have here but I was wondering if you knew of any community forums that cover the same topics talked about in this article? I’d really love to be a part of group where I can get responses from other experienced individuals that share the same interest. If you have any recommendations, please let me know. Many thanks!
I don’t think I’ve never read something like this before. So nice to see someone with some original ideas on this subject. I really thank you for beginning it. This website is one thing that is needed on the net, somebody with a bit originality.
I was recently in your beautiful country and I miss it everyday! It is so green and peaceful there and the people were very accommodating. I saw a coin there but the shop owner wouldn’t sell it separately and luckily I found one on your EBay. Thank you very much again! Corena
Dear Sir/ Madam, Did you ever find a ” Timpo ” toys Irish Jaunting cart made in Eire during the period 1945/ 48.?………….Very keen to have one!…..Yours, Brian Kelly
Mr. and Mrs. Rynne,
Over the weekend I received the Irish Volunteer uniform button. I am a American Civil War reenactor here in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. Because of my Irish heritage, I plan on sewing the button somewhere on my uniform. Wrong era, I know, but I’m betting most people wont know. They will see the harp and know that I am honoring my heritage.
Thanks for sending me the button all the way over here.

Leona
Very much enjoyed reading your blog post about the Fleadh – the story behind the sessions. I also liked your gallery. Are the items pictured there for sale?
Hi Davoc,
My mother has an old oil lamp with an etched cranberry colored shade. The burner says “Duplex Made in England” and the base has “Made in England” and “Veritas” in an oval. The base is solid black and is attached with a square nut. My mother bought it in Ireland in the sixties. Do you have an idea of the value? I can send you pictures if that would help. Thanks!
Last March (2012) four of us spent two weeks in Ireland. Rented van, went where we wanted each day. so much to see. I so wanted to visit some of the Second Hand Stores…the ones where the proceeds go to the needy, but there was no time. So, now I am looking for some really Irish items to fulfill the need I have to own a few ordinary things from the most wonderful place I can imagine. I pray to be back sometime.
I have two handwritten land lease indentures from Ireland dated 1791 and 1818 respectively. Both have the signators’ red wax(?) seals affixed by their signatures. Are these of interest or value to collectors?
Thank you.
Hi Davoc!
Hi Eugene,

Hi Davoc,
I have a penal cross dated 1729, similar to the one on your website under the heading ” believed to be from 1695 – 1823″ would love more information on it, if you could help that would be great.
Fantastic website.
Regards JS.
