Cardboard box containing a champagne and shouldered labelled bottle of Guinness, three handled mugs and a serving tray. Box is about 180 x 155 mm. 1930s-1940s
Very Good. (N/A). The cardboard box is falling apart. Lid has totally separated. the rest is not that much better. BUT, this is all about the contents. Two different miniature glass bottles, both have JAPAN on the base. Both labelled with some minor wear and tear to the labels. The mugs are amazing as well, also have JAPAN under the base. The tray also has JAPAN under it, has some minor corrosion and wear underneath. Whilst I have seen the odd miniature Guinness bottle, I can't recall if they were these examples with this label in place and Japanese made. I am sure I have never seen these miniature mugs. Simply amazing set! Not sure on age but certainly look to have a fair bit of age, possibly even a tad earlier than suggested? Estimate: $100-150
