ENGLISH SILVERPLATE COFFEE
CAN AND SALT-SHAKER
Vintage silverplate coffee can, with a salt-shaker, made by Mappin & Webb Ltd. We found these two orphans in the back of the warehouse and thought you might enjoy owning them. Holds about three cups. We believe this was Royal Navy wardroom stuff. Coffee can measures 6” x 5.75”, the salt-shaker 3.75” x 2” JB187 $139

COMIX Set of Three Misc We ran across a bunch of these color, Sunday’s newspaper comics, and couldn’t resist offering these rarities! Terrific stuff.

Here you have the very cool, Flash Gordon, Joe Palooka, Smilin’ Jack, Superman, Spiderman, Batman, Mandrake the Magician, and of course Lil’ Abner, along with others that were unknown to me. Funny how sexist and politi- cally incorrect much of this stuff is, on today’s terms. We just love this stuff, as I think you will too! Because these
genuine. No disappointments here!
