Sorry - no bidders outside the UK mainland - unless you have someone here who can receive the item.

Please feel free to make a sensible offer through ebays 'Make an Offer' option.

Very thin. Text around the edge says 'WILLIAMS BROTHERS Ltd - DIRECT SUPPLY STORES

John & Alfred Williams from Sheerness in Kent founded their business in 1872

The first shop was in the Caledonian Road , Islington, London

It fell out of an old desk being broken for firewood years ago. Not many of these around these days.

I have tried to show the items condition in the pictures - please view all of the images.

Sold as is - a collectors item - no guarantee given or implied

Sorry - no bidders outside the UK mainland - unless you have someone here in the UK who can receive the item.

My postage charge includes the cost of materials I may have to buy to post, and ebays commission they levy on seller postage. The cost is not just the price on the package.

I will not accept returns, unless I have badly mis-described something.

I am a private seller  disposing of a lifetimes collection of house and garage contents, etc, etc -  now down-sized to a much smaller property.


Please watch for my other auctions - its all got to go.

Any questions - please ask.
