I recently found these old brasses of my Mum's in our attic: peacock, slipper and all.
I remember some of them my growing up.
I seem to recall my Mum buying them from one Mr. Singh, a second hand seller on Preston outdoor market in the Sixties.
As if by magic, here's an old print of yours truly admiring the very same brass peacock on its shelf at home circa 1961!
Here are more old shots on the same day. Looks like a party! Do you recognise the drinks?
Not sure what my parents were celebrating.
Happy days!
You were a dapper little nipper! SFZ
ReplyDeleteHa ha, not my doing SF!
DeleteLooks like a vermouth on the left side and a lemon something in the middle. Box looks like a load of pale ale bottles! Bill
