Antique Georgian 18K Gold Enamel Mourning Ring Alexander Brodie Inventor Navy 11

  
In 1780 he took a regular stove, added various additions and made it easy to take apart and clean, thereby turning it into a'Brodie stove'. He was granted a Royal patent and for the next 29 years the Admiralty gave him a monopoly to install Brodie stoves on all their ships, something which made him his fortune.

Brodie stoves were fitted on ships including the infamous HMS Bounty and Admiral Lord Nelson's flagship HMS Victory. Brodie never married and on his death in 1811 left his fortune to his nieces, nephews and various charities.
