Royal Doulton Tobacconalia Shapes
Musical Cigarette Box - Shape 8293
Plays English Country Garden by Grangier
Royal Doulton Fox Hunting Cigarette Box - Date coded to 1940
20 cm (8”) by 9.5 cm (3.75”) and it is 7.5 cm (3”) tall
I have only seen these boxes in Fox Hunting "A", Dickens Ware and English Cottages. Is anybody aware of any other series that where produced in this shape?
Bridge Set - Shape 8148
Royal Doulton Dickens Ware Bridge Set - D.5682 - production era 1932 to 1941
12.5 cm (5") by 9 cm (3.5") and it is 2.5 (1") tall
Individual Ashtray measure 7cm (2.75") by 5 cm (2")
These Bridge Sets originally came with four small ashtrays. These wee trays sit nicely in the bottom of the box and are so shaped they can be stacked. It is very rare to find these sets complete. Horror of horrors - I have seen vandals selling these sets on eBay as five individual lots. These sets are rare and a complete set is well worth a premium.
Bridge Set - "Cards"
Cards Bridge Set; D5046; dated 1931
Stand measures 13.5 cm (5.25") by 9 cm (3.5") & 5 cm (2") tall
These Brige sets really are very sweet. The hollow portions of the base are match holders and they have a match striker built into one of the black faces on each upright.

Over the years I have had seen 3 of these, all have been Dickens Ware, I have not seen an example in any other series.
