About this item
A very fine example of a (near!) complete Princess Mary Gift Tin.
It retains the lions share of its original contents. As usual, the cigarettes have been opened, and in this instance two have been smoked, with eighteen remaining. The tobacco pouch has also been opened, at the base, with some small loss.
Complete with the 1914 dated Christmas card, along with the photograph of Princess Mary.
The rarest comodity here is the original Buckingham Palace headed note from Princess Mary, which hardly ever appear. The paper along the folds is weak, and has parted in places. It would benefit from being placed on a linen backing, and perhaps framed for display.
The tin retains a high proportion of its gilt finish, and is free from serious dents or splits. Tin closes firmly.
