What is this?

Response gibbo seemed to say it was probably not military.

Could still try I guess.

Shame it didn't state more about it.

Hundreds of items sent off to auction. Cut crystal some watermarked and some not.
Lots of fine bone English china. Pair 9ct gold cuff links, onyx cuff links, 2 Globite suitcases, etc

You got some stuff there. Bone handled cutlery, you don't see that often now.
PS I like that hutch.

The table, 6 chairs and the hutch are staying in the family.

The hutch was originally filled with Gouda pottery that went to auction last Saturday. A huge collection of stuff like this

Yes, a huge collection of stuff some from grandparents. That's the second batch. A load went to auction two weeks ago.

 

[gibbo]

So you slowly getting it all sorted then. I hadn't heard of Gauda pottery before so googled it. Highly collectable.

 

[DaveHam9]

I knew it was Dutch because the whole dining room had a Dutch theme but didn't know it was Gouda until auction guy said he was keen to take it.
Yes, all sorted now. The load of stuff for auction went yesterday and the Salvos pick up a huge load of stuff today.
Garage sale this weekend so I hope it all goes.
If not there is a handy local council rubbish collection during the week starting 3rd.
A few large items may have to be broken up like an old single bed base. Salvos won't take it.

The image in this link, is a Texas State seal. A start on one side, a wreath on the other.

Striking similarities.

Thanks Steve.

I'll be busy all day and most of tomorrow with a garage sale.
