Set of Eight Victorian Era Collectible Plates
Collecting plates has been something people have done for a long time – and while today’s modern dishware can be a bit tacky, in the Victorian Era there was some style to it. Here is a lovely collection of plates celebrating the British Empire in the most jingoistic way possible!
The set honors General Sir George White, Victoria Cross winner and commander of garrison at the Siege of Ladysmith during the Second Anglo-Boer War; General Sir Redvers Buller, Victoria Cross winner and Commander-in-Chief of British Forces in South Africa during the early months of the Second Boer War; Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli; Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone; Lord Randolph Churchill (father of Sir Winston Churchill); and H M Stanley and Dr. Emin Bey chronicling the Congo relief expedition.
While there are some chips and even a couple of repairs this grouping of plates is in excellent condition.

All Ranks Marcella Cigar Tin
We have no idea how old this tin is, and we’ll admit it is probably a retro throwback to the Victorian style tins. Still for a collector of British militaria or tobacco products it is kind of cool. It is in excellent shape and ready to be displayed.
