We managed to pick this up while we were away over the last few days. The glasses are commemorative for 1953 when the Qeen of England come to Australia. The glasses has slight wear on gold rim. The book was print on the Crown Jewels in 1992 if I ever sold it I would just throw the book in as a extra. The details i the book start from begining of the Crown jewels until 1992. The red & gold 3 peice cast money box is from 1953 there is another in Silver & gold also. To remove money just unscrew bottom & it comes away in 3 place base & 2 sides in pretty good order. In the begining I was led to beleive it was from 1964 when she came to Australia but that was just the glasses celebrating her 10 year coronation. I'm hoping this is more reliable information. I have also been lead to believe that this money box is rare.
Thank you I do find it a strange one to be in but you know what you are doing now knowing a worth may be helpfull
Just at the Wright place at the Wright time. I have not been able to find the 1963 one yet but the grey 1953 I think it is keeps coming up. The book is from 1992. By the way I sent the photo then found it in junk so I have tried to resend.
I have just edited this as it is a 1953 money box the glasses are from 1963 & is rare the grey is said to be more common
gosh we had a book like this when we were growing up...maybe its time gain for another souvenir SUNDAY !!!
Love the crown but the crests are upside down so cant read them..lol
Thanks for the loves AnneLanders the glasses say The Visit Of Queen Elizabeth 11 1953 or 1964 not real sure at the moment as they are packed away & not sure were. Now if it was one of the other pieces I could get to them quite easy. Sorry for taking so long in getting back. I have been trying to put down some new things but the photos at the moment will not open up after I run through the process. Have a great day & thanks again for the loves.
