It is with the greatest of pleasure that I offer here for ALL collectors around the world some of the most unusual and one-off UNIQUE items from the late Lord Boston of Faversham's (1930-2011)  collection of Queen Victoria related items, he had a most interesting life.  After serving in the RAF National Service and getting a Degree in Law, he joined the BBC where he produced current affairs programmes.  He was then called to the bar by the Inner Temple in 1960.  He was very much into politics and had been a member of the Labour party since he was 16.  He won the Faversham bi-election in 1964 and was created a life peer on Harold Wilson's resignation in 1976.  He spent 10 years being a chairman of a broadcasting company and then went back to Westminster where he served as Deputy Speaker until 2011.  Lord Boston was an avid collector and I used to bump into him at the live sales.  Be assured all the items are from his vast personal collection.  We are all very fortunate to have the oppotunity to buy them once again. These will be gone in no time so please do not hang about...

These are genuine Victorian period commemorative cast brass moulded BUST plaques of a young Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.... I am not sure of their purpose really.. maybe door stops.. as they have been mounted on wood bases.. these are antique as well.. as in .. they have not been mounted on these recently.. you can see by the patina and construction of the wood support on the back.. each plaque is attached with a brass bolt and nut.
They have been well admired over the years and well polished too.
They maybe BOOK ENDS too.. but I dont think they are weighty enough for that.
They are 7 inch tall overall height on the wooden bases ...the base being 5 x 2 and half inch.. the brass bit is 6 inch long x 5 inch x nearly 1/2 inch deep.  .
