W. Buszek Spirit Measure

Found over the holiday weekend at an Antiques Fair. I assume it is for a wee dram of the hard stuff ! Also with it , a miniature Parachute Qualification badge , possessing the same manufacturer's cartouche.

Nice finds, congrats. I’ve got a vodka tumbler just like that one. Buszek produced a series of these with different patriotic appliques. Marked “Polish Army in Great Britain” on the base and sometimes dated as well. I believe mine is marked 1942. Very collectible!

Cheers,
Tony

Hello Ordinary Soldier
Nice badge - I have almost the same but without markings.
What is a length of your badge?
Greetings

thank you for the kind words U2. the eagle is 35 mm in length. possibly a " sweetheart " or the ilk. I am still wearing the black crepe armband ! The lady who I purchased them from mentioned in conversation that a couple of weeks previously she had sold a bigger one that had a gold wreath. Bugger !

My badge is smaller - 33 mm.
Here are the photos:

And here's my Buszek kieliszek, amidst some others.

Finally, at long last an opportunity to use this smiley

Cheers,

Very nice indeed.

I would say a month of mourning for the one that got away......

Cheers, Ade.

Cheers, Ade.

an understatement. the good lady has already hidden the knives and thrown away the rope.....................just off to look up what " distraught " means in the dictionary.
