Lot 110

Guide price: £25-45

An antique MILK CAN. A super litttle piece of YORKSHIRE history by GOWLAND & YOUNG Ironmongers of RIPON. The nameplate on the back is Capt. Schofield of Riseley Hall. The can stands 40cm tall and has lovely original green paint with wooden handle and original cap. I don't imagine the good Captain put this out every night, surely the maid was more hands on. The Schofields of Riseley Hall had department stores based in Leeds and throughout Yorkshire. During WWII Riseley Hall was the base for Major General Percy Hobarts of HOBARTS FUNNIES legend, the weird and wonderful contraptions used in the D Day Landings, maybe Percy had the Milk for his tea delivered in this can?
