Possibly re-purposable as a vase or simple as a decorative object, the bottle has stood the test of time well and has no chips or cracks and is in good overall condition. There is no maker's mark but the bottle was possibly made by Lovatt Langley Mill who were well known for this kind of container and stoneware finish. The diameter of the bottle is 11cm (4¼ in.) at its maximum, with the cylindrical shape of the body being 19cm (7½ in.)

This one has no chips or cracks, however, it does have some ink staining. It's character, we say, but if you want a pristine-looking item then you should give this item a miss. The ink staining is apparent to the right front corner and left hand side panel. We like it, we've made no attempt to remove it. It's a part of this item's history, so whilst we have cleaned and rejuvenated the wood more generally, we are happy to leave it otherwise.

The stamp has obvious signs of use, including some aged ink remnants on the stamp and wear and tear to the metal handle sections, minor surface scratches, etc., but in good clean conditon otherwise. The outer metal box, which measures 16cm by 14.5cm by 7cm (6¼ in. by 5¾ in. by 2¾ in.), is also in good overall vintage condition, with signs of ageing to the paper label and minor dents and scratches from use. It is, however, in good structural shape and clean.

A quirky object of interest to those with a background in education or geography specifically, or to anyone who appreciates the visual appeal of maps and mapping-related items. It would certainly make an interesting display piece or paperweight!

The post Three Original Pen and Ink Drawings signed “P.G.B.” appeared first on Anything In Particular.

Sidney George Hedges was a British author of books and articles on swimming, games and hobbies for young people, and was especially active in the 1930's. We have mounted the board into a clip frame measuring 30cm by 24cm (12 in by 9½ in) with an appropriate colour backing paper. The board itself has a charmingly irregular shape (measuring approx. 21.5 cm by 22.0 cm / 8½ in by 8¾ in) but it is in good condition and the colours remain good. The buyer may wish to pursue a more permanent framing solution, but we think it looks great just as it is. Perfect for the swimmer or swimming fan or just for its aesthetic appeal!
