News — Favourite Finds

A very happy and a very warm 'Blog Post Monday' to you.

You may remember a post from a few weeks ago where I told you about an interesting engraved Victorian glass tumbler I'd found and which I thought may have had an interesting connection and story.  Well, I continued my research and there have been some rather interesting developments, and this week's post is a little update on this.

So, as always, get that kettle on, put those feet up and let me fill you in on what I've managed to confirm about this quite astonishing and important little find...

Welcome one and all to this week's "Blog Post Monday"!  I hope you're all keeping safe and well.

Sometimes in this job you stumble across things that are just that extra bit special and this week, I'm pleased to say that happened to me!  With lockdown ongoing, we're stuck to searching for our treasures online and this week, while perusing the wonders of the web, I stumbled across a super piece of militaria history.  A personalised leather cigar case which shows the postings of W.Francis of the Norfolk Regiment from 1891 to 1904.

I'm excited about it and because I'm excited about it, I intend to tell you all about it!  So, this week's blog post is about a leather cigar case and my search to find out who W.Francis of the Norfolk Regiment was. 

So, get that kettle on, buckle up and get ready to travel back in time with me to meet the man himself...
