This high quality sun hat was made by Charles Owen & Co Ltd in London.
It was designed to cover and protect its wearers head from the the harsh sun on tropical expeditions.
The inside of the helmet is lined with cotton and velvet for a comfortable fit and was marked with the manufacturers marks and logo.
This helmet would still be the ideal piece to wear on a hot sunny day but it would also be a unique decor piece to add some adventure!
After almoste a century the helmet remains in worn condition and shows some signs of wear and use. The patina it got over the years only adds to its rugged character in my opinion.

These sturdy boots were issued by the British army to their officers during the second world war.
Their solid design is sturdy and stylish. The inside on one of the boots shows some markings and the British broad arrow. The boots are made of brown cow leather and feature rubber Continental soles.
The boots remain in worn but good condition considering their age! Even after 80 years they can still be worn! These are very sturdy, decent boots which still have many miles to defy!
The leather faded nicely due to years of wearing, giving the boots a rugged vintage look! They have been cleaned and treated with leather grease.

The Cave Bear was a massive omnivore that lived in Europe during the Pleistocene period and became extinct around 28,000 years ago.
This enormous animal is thought to be a relative to today’s brown bear but it was significantly larger.
Adult males averaged half a ton in weight, and when standing on their hind legs they were up to 10 feet tall!
That would put them comparably in size to the largest of modern-day Kodiak and Polar bears.
This bone has been found inside a cave, deep into the Carpathian mountains.
An unique and very decorative piece that would fit perfectly into your collection or cabinet of curiosities!
The jaw remains in damaged condition.
Sadly the upper part of the joint has been damaged and the jaw is missing almost all its teeth except for a remaining molar.
