Description: | This is a cigarette box made of wood and metal. The metal top plate would have been removed and the inside filled with cigarettes. When the button was pressed on the top the channel would lower and be filled with a cigarette which then comes to the top again. It belonged to the donor's father. It is in very good condition. The bottom is stamped 'foreign'., , Donor's parents were James Drennan Potter, died 1963, Corporal in the Royal Air Force and Hazel A.B.Potter nee Blake, died 2007. They both worked in the RAF during World War II which is where they met and got married in 1939, stationed at Meple, Cambridge. Hazel worked for the 75th New Zealand Lancaster Squadron. They had two sons, Keneth born 1947 and the donor, David born 1952. After the war they lived at Newburn, Newcastle as Jame's family were from that area. They moved to 31 The Burnside, West Denton in 1954 which is where these items are from, along with all the other items catalogued under 2008-5. | License: | http://www.beamish.org.uk/terms-of-use | Subjects: | drink and tobacco SHIC - Personal life - Food | Source: | Beamish | Identifier: | http://collections.beamish.org.uk/search... | Go to resource |
