    A fun find! Armitage basin, presumably a salesman’s sample at approximately 10cm tall.
    Any ideas on date please?
    Thanks for looking :)

    Oh, that is FABULOUS. I'd think from the style and being black, it's 20s or 30s.

    These weren't so much samples, as little gifts to customers: you'd put matches or something in them, business cards. They'd sit on a desk or even a shop counter.

    I adore miniatures. My bucket list find would be a Doulton Lambeth plumbing suitcase of them.
