ULTRA RARE ANTIQUE SUFFRAGETTE TOBACCO JAR EARLY 20th CENTURY
This is an extremely rare tobacco jar? Probably made in Germany in the early part of the 20th century and certainly before the outbreak of WW1 in 1914. There is no pottery/makers mark that I can see on the item. This is very rare and can only be termed as’anti-suffragettes’ or at least poking’fun’ at them. This two piece jar shows a woman in a hat shouting the words’I say down with the trousers’ which are shown along the front of the base. She wears a shoulder sash and hat cockade of green/white/purple, the. Of the Woman’s Congressional Union (headed by Alice Paul) and later the Woman’s Suffrage Party, as well as. Pankhurst’s English Woman’s Social and Political Union. The hat is detachable. It does have a 1cm chip and a couple of very small chips to the inside rim of the lower half, which are not noticeable with the hat part placed on top (see photos). The hat/lid does have a hairline crack, but is barely visible, if at all, when inspected from above (ie can only really be seen from the inside). The paint work around the top of the blue eyes is a little rough and there is some loss of paint, but consumate with a piece that is over 100 years old. It does have some other small marks to its exterior but nothing major. Please take a look at the photos (which you should be able to zoom in upon) to judge the condition for yourself as these form part of this item description. Overall this is still a great looking piece and this is your chance to own a rare piece of British political history. It measures 5.5 inches high by 3 inches across the base.

Antique Vintage Oddity Tools. Taxidermy: A very rare set of Rowland Ward taxidermist tools early 20th century in leather case with Rowland Ward’The Jungle’ 166 Piccadilly, London 19cm. He built up a hugely successful business that operated from Piccadilly, the most fashionable quarter of nineteenth century London. This business was so strongly based that it continued to operate long after Rowland’s death; in fact it survived in London until the early 1970s. In his lifetime he made many influential innovations in the craft of taxidermy, but in these he was simply carrying on, and improving on, a family tradition. On his return home, Henry Ward took over a taxidermy firm that operated in the West End of London, and became a significant tradesman in his own right. Henry’s oldest son Edwin, and then Rowland, were introduced into the business at an early age and Edwin soon became an important figure on the London zoological scene. Long before his father’s death he opened his own studio in Wigmore Street where he produced work of high quality. However, comparatively little is known of him, and he retired in 1879 for unknown reasons and soon after emigrated to the US. This left Rowland as the sole representative of the Ward family and he raised the family profile to heights that even his brother and father had not been able to reach. In addition to his attainments in taxidermy, Rowland became an important publisher and was responsible for the production of many books on natural history and travel subjects. In this endeavour he was building on a tradition begun by his brother who had produced a book called A Knapsack Manual for Sportsmen in the Field (1872) that Rowland later expanded to become his own big success The Sportsman’s Handbook to Practical Collecting, a publication so influential that it ran to no less than eleven editions.
