Some bits and bobs

Was at an antiques fair today and spotted a gem for 60 Euros A nice big WWII shell dated 1941 that was being sold as an umbrella stand. I really want to start collecting trench art once I get some savings going and other militaria if I can big up nice small bargains every now and then. Said I would post from bits and bobs…

That wouldn't surprise me RDF,I would agree to be honest that it may be done that way.What I would like to pick up at some stage is a WW1 version properly stamped with year and maker but alas I'll have to wait for one of those.:)

Here's a WW1 Princess Mary Christmas Gift Tin picked up lately,these were given to British soldiers in 1914.This had the kings African Rifles shoulder titles and officers pips in the box,also present are the Christmas card and small photo of Princess Mary,these are two of the items that would of been in the box,these are contained in a small old white envelope and I'm guessing that they are original and not the reproductions that can now be bought.The tin is in good condition,a little dirty and one very minor dent.
