Written In The Stars

Emotions run high for Roy in the pawn shop when a seller brings in a U.S Congressional Medal of Honour with a sad story of Vietnam War bravery attached. An early 20th Century Victorian music box makes a fascinating and colourful appearance, as does a gigantic and heavy antique pencil sharpener which catches Eytan’s retro-imagination. The cherry on top arrives in the form of a world famous South African musician who comes in to sell his very first musical instrument – a classic African Mbira. While Irene has the back office in tailspin over the validity of star signs and astrology, Eytan’s inner child is re-awoken by the arrival of a classic piece of early 20th century engineering: a pencil sharpener large and heavy enough to sink a battleship.
