"ORIGINAL"
QUEEN VICTORIA,
BOER WAR "CHRISTMAS" CHOCOLATE TIN.
1900
(& COPY OF AN INTERSTING EARLY NEWSPAPER ARTICLE WHERE A REPORTER FROM THE "DAILY NEWS" TRIES TO BUY ONE OF THESE BOXES FROM TWO DIFFERENT ARMY SOLDIERS, "ROYAL HORSE ARTILLERY AND ESSEX REGIMENT". OFFERING £2 HE GETS SHORT SHRIFT FROM BOTH MEN !)
WE NORMALLY HAVE A SMALL STOCK OF THESE POPULAR EARLY TINS AVAILABLE AND THE CONDITION OF THE BOXES ARE ALL 'NICE' AND ARE HAND SELECTED BY US, BUT CLEARLY NOW BEING 111 YEARS OLD THEY ALL VARY SLIGHTLY.
THE BOX IN THE PICTURE IS VERY REPRESENTATIVE.
£75
