Lot Essay

showing few signs of wear which might be expectd from use on a ship, it is thought that this might be an example presented by Warspite to the London Stock Exchange as a result of Warship Week in 1946 and which was dispersed in a clear out during the early 1960's. For a full history of Warspite please refer to 13th May 1999 Maritime Sale, lot 219.
