COPPERHAND’S COLLECTION OF CURIOS & MORE!
YOU there! A discerning customer with an eye for the unusual and a purse that twitches at a bargain - this message is for YOU.
Step quietly, look twice, and follow the smell of pipe smoke, polished tin, and a potential bargain. Vratni Copperhand's Emporium is open for business (on certain days, in certain places, depending on who’s askin’).
A SELECTION OF WARES ON OFFER:

- "Rare Imported Umbar Sand" (now in convenient jars!),
- "Feathers of Fortune" (colour may vary with luck or not at all),
- "Silver-coloured Spoons" (Mostly Unused) – single and family packs available,
- "Treasure Maps" (gently singed, to places that may or may not exist),

[Seal: a lopsided coin with a suspiciously crooked hammer on it]
WHERE TO FIND ME?
Most days you'll find me near the Combe road under the willow by the third fencepost, or somewhere just barely visible from the Comb Gate itself, depending on wind and Watch rotations. But on Bree Commons Days, look for a cart with a brass bell, in the Bree market square, by the Boar statue.
