Dunhill 1950's Aquarium Petrol LighterBeautiful and very rare 1950's Dunhill Aquarium petrol lighter featuring a Salmon swimming up river in Scotland. Lucite body with silver plated metal finish. Stamped to base Made in England Patent No.143752. 

These lighters were made from Lucite, which was developed in WWII as an alternative to glass, because of its shatterproof qualities, it was invaluable for everything from airplane windshields to submarine periscopes. 
Following the conflict, the remaining Lucite stock found its way into artists’ studios and designers’ workshops. The lighters were created by Ben Shillingford who was later joined by Margaret and Allan Bennett. While Margaret was responsible for the pencil and watercolour blueprints, it was Allan who carved the panels once the designs had been approved by Dunhill. Like Shillingford, he used dental tools to complete the intricate work, before his wife undertook the back painting of the panels, ensuring every lighter was unique. No two aquarium lighters are the same, making them each a unique work of art. Shillingford’s skills were so outstanding that when he retired the skills necessary to continue manufacturing the aquarium lighter could not be found and production ceased. Dunhill counted royalty, aristocrats and the European elite among its clients, including the cigar-smoking Sir Winston Churchill who kept a Dunhill aquarium lighter on his desk at Chartwell Manor.

WW2 German Luftwaffe Officers Visor CapLuftwaffe officers silver piped visor cap complete with celluloid diamond of the rare Vienna Master Taylor Josef Andrysek of 29 Wein IV/50. Stitching to front of visor has come away slightly in the middle but still held securely on either side. The cap appears to have been crushed at some point, either by the original owner or the veteran who brought it back but still displays well on a mannequin head or stand. Interestingly the bullion cockade appears to feature two wings rather than the usual four. We are not sure whither the threads seperating the wings have come away or this is the way Josef Andrysek produced his luftwaffe cockades.

WW2 British Army (Polish) Mine Detector Model Mk 3 (ZA22175) With Accessories. Very scarce British Army Polish mine detector model Mk3 (ZA22175) with accessories and its light version No4 (ZA22158) removable handle in two parts with counterweight, adjustment box fixed on handle. Detector mine No3 (Polish) battery amplifier serial number 10025. Webbing back pack made by MECo and stamped WA 10099 complete with straps, wiring and headphones. Invented by Lieut. Jozef Stanislaw Kosacki 1903-1990 a Polish inventor and soldier. While serving in the Signals Corps of the exiled Polish Army defending the Fife coast, Kosacki developed the mine detector. He had experimented with mine detection while still in Poland, but based in St Andrews in 1941, he was asked by the British War  Office to develop a device which could be used to clear growing mine fields, both much faster and with much less risk to the lives of the soldiers doing the clearing than their previous technique of prodding the ground with a bayonets. More than 500 of this so-called Polish Mine Detector were shipped to North Africa for use in the Battle of El Alamein. The detector was used later during the Allied invasion of Sicily, the Allied invasion of Italy and the Invasion of Normandy
