Dear Sir or Madam:

Could someone take pictures of coal balls (http://enwp.org/coal_ball) and upload it to Commons? The one I have uploaded on the article is {{OTRS pending}} and I still haven't gotten a concise reply from the copyright holder.

I think they can be found at a museum

Thanks in advance, User:SigmaWP

The museums that appear to have them are Bolton Museum and the natural history museum. Other museums in the Bolton area might be worth a try but the things are not that common.
