WWI Princess Mary Christmas Tin – 1914
Dhs. 935.00
A rare and storied keepsake from the First World War, this brass Princess Mary Christmas tin was originally issued in 1914 to British soldiers as a gift from Princess Mary, daughter of King George V. Embossed with her profile and festive motifs, the box once held small luxuries like tobacco, chocolate, or writing sets—offering comfort from home during wartime.
Marked by time, with its aged patina and worn gilding, this piece speaks of resilience, tradition, and the enduring spirit of those who carried it. A collector’s gem, and a conversation piece for any traveler drawn to objects with a story.
