Brett Hendey Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 'Boer War Memorabilia. The Collector's Guide' by Pieter Oosthuizen. The Alderman Press. 1987. The above book gives a very detailed illustrated account of its subject matter. It is an ideal collector's guide. Brett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mervyn Mitton Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 A wonderful collecting field and the tin items that Chris shows can still be found. The small vase is also good but, a little more specialised. The Loving Cup that Mike shows is of a very fine quality. I don't think it is for the Boer War - probably Her 1887 or, 1897 Jubilee's. The piece is made of fine china - not pottery , as so many of them were. When three handles are present it becomes a 'Loving Cup' - for passing around for toasts. This though, is a miniature.for show. I hope we will see many other examples on this section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mervyn Mitton Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 The fronts may have been for an earlier occasion and they could have just changed the backs for the Boer War. Whatever their origins - they are both fine items and well decorated. Mervyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
