"This a fabulous piece; one of the finest we've seen on the Antiques Roadshow by the finest craftsman of the time. Made especially for retail by Libertys of London during the Art-Deco period.

Dobbed in by the coin collectors who observed far too many Alfred coins coming on the market at once
Greed, readers, Greed !
You don't remember mother and dreadlocked son from the tip? They had box after box of treasures
