18th Century Three Barrel Caddy game ready 3d art.
Brief history.
The Tea Caddy is decorated with an inlaid silver plaque on the lid that includes the Sydney family Motto; MANUS HACINMICA TYRANNI translating to THIS HAND IS THE ENEMY OF TYRANTS.

The pistols were made by ISAAC SMITH who worked from 1747 until 1790 from his shop in LONDON. Smith was known for making multi-shot pocket pistols with screw-off barrels. One was pistol there is a pan selector switch which allows the shooter to discharge all at once or one at a time.

It should be noted that the hidden pistols contained a compartment beneath the tea containers are designed to store these two three-barrel pistols Fully Loaded with the cocks at half-cock for instant use.

Clearly the efforts of one of England's Noble Families who despite them having a truly PROTESTANT monarch still feared the possibilities of Catholic tyrants.
