Help with Inventory 1672
« on: Saturday 09 November 24 21:57 GMT (UK) »
In the attachment I have attempted to transcribe an inventory. I am having trouble with a few words, I wonder if anyone could help, I have highlighted the words in yellow that I am struggling with.

Many thanks in advance

My go

Five pillow coats
Brass cover
Isn’t it a fire shovel?  Which would go with the tonges (tongs) which I think is correct.

The other words look correct to me, but I have no idea what they are!
