Description

A diverse collection of 20th-century items comprising militaria, advertising, and decorative objects. Included is a Capstan Navy Cut tobacco tin with a blue and gold lid, marked 50 GRS NET. The militaria section features several service-style medals and ribbons, notably a bronze-toned medal with a figure in relief on a green and red striped ribbon, and a white metal circular medallion with a red, white, and blue ribbon. Decorative items include a silver-toned metal model of a harness racing horse and sulky, a modern dark-patinated bronze sculpture of two conjoined figures, a small gold-coloured figurine in 18th-century dress, and a small metal bull. Travel-related ephemera includes two blue leather-style pouches stamped Ville de Nice and a China Southwest Air box. Other miscellaneous contents feature an upright woven wicker basket with a leather strap, a combination padlock in its original Italian retail packaging, a black metal torch, large metal calipers, a white circular ring, and a rectangular pocket lighter with engine-turned texturing.


Condition report:
