Collectors were saddened to learn of the passing of valued member Pat Quinn who died recently. Pat brought along many of her treasures to Collectors but members will mostly remember her beautiful silver teapot on a stand. Sincere sympathy is extended to Pat’s family.
Our theme for September was ‘time’ with various items on display. Corrie, who is unable to attend our meeting because of a prior commitment sent along four of her clocks which produced must interest. They were shaped as an aeroplane, a cow, a kiwi and a grandfather clock.
Many watches were on display, some of which were very old, having belonged to grandparents.
We saw a wonderful display of clocks, which included two carriage clocks, one with its case. An Ansonia mantle clock, crystal clocks, a talking clock, a clock with a clear dome inside which Swiss figures danced, a Royal Albert clock, a sewing machine clock an elephant clock and an alarm clock, were just some of the clocks we saw and discussed.
Our theme for October is ‘Education/school days’ so hopefully you will have memorabilia from those days. Exercise books, text books, badges, uniforms, reports, and more !!!
