"Probably one of the better examples of a 4 draw available at the moment. I have a bit of history on this as I bought it from a ships merchant in Liverpool 20+ years ago, they told me it was gifted to the Owner of the Merchant company by his brother, a ships Captain, who retired on his return from bringing troops from the Cape after the Boer war 1902/03. When the owner died in 1910 the family put it on display till they moved premises in the 80’s from then till they sold it to me, it was on top of a cupboard in a pillow case."
