EDITORS COMMENTS

This assortment includes a rare Ole Bill mascot, a cherished symbol of British morale during the Great War. The Ole Bill mascot, possibly a car mascot, showcases the enduring spirit of Bairnsfather's beloved character, who first appeared in his popular "Bystander" cartoons. Accompanying this historical treasure is a brass dish or ash tray, intricately designed with Bairnsfather's distinctive illustrations of Ole Bill and his comrades. This exquisite piece would have once graced the homes of soldiers and civilians alike, serving as a poignant reminder of the bravery and camaraderie of the war years. Another remarkable item in this collection is a cigarette case, adorned with Bairnsfather's charming cartoon artwork. The case, a testament to the era's rich history, would have provided soldiers with a small piece of home amidst the harsh realities of the battlefield. Lastly, a St. Dunstan's collection box completes this collection.

By contributing to this noble cause, individuals could make a difference in the lives of those who had sacrificed so much for their country. Together, these collectible items offer a unique glimpse into the past, allowing us to appreciate the artistry, resilience, and compassion that defined the World War I era.
