Ranging from mechanical chronometers of all shapes of sizes to larger and more elaborate machines. The most elaborate of all is the 'Gilded Widow' - a mannequin-like creation that is said to have been able to divine the future with great accuracy. Unfortunately the thing is no longer operational, missing at least one component, but it is still thought to be valuable to a collector.

Ranging from a nalwood dining table and chairs, via a complete set (nearly 2000 pieces) of Terran neo-porcelain - enough to seat all the High Lords of Terra through a formal High Gothic 57 dishes meal. Opulent clothes, some weapons of useful quality - the list goes on. Still nothing too exotic though - as if someone had already gone through the collection and taken the best/most heretical stuff out...
