JUNE 2025

The evenings display was put on by Guy. A really excellent collection of Goss crested china. The amazing thing is that they are all from the same town - Farnham.

 

First up on the finds table were the 2 fairy lights. These were picked up by Greg in an antique shop for only £3 each. Bargain. Guy brought along the 4 pot lids. The Farnborough flagon was Gregs. This comes complete with tap on back. The Hartridge of Hambledon flagon belongs to Graham. Hambledon is a small village but does have a good selection of bottles. The Allen & Lloyd Aldershot is a pretty rare one of their bottles. They are of course remembered by the massive amount of Codds they used. This was Davids.

Royston brought along the 6oz Hartidges codd from Hambledon. Pretty scarce one. He also briught the Mew Langton IOW GB and the sick bowler Woods lemonade soda water. The syphon belongs to Graham - Goulds of London. The round sick ink was Gregs. Martin and Ruth our new members brought the quart Scrases and half pint Aldridge beers. They also brought the black truffle jar, unusual as it is twice the size of the normal ones. The Hindhead Beacon Hill milk bottle was Davids. Not one often seen.

This evenings competition was for 3 glas or stoneware bottles. 1st Greg 2nd David 3rd  Mick 4th Graham
