Contact the museum in Kingston.

 

[Hawkshadow]

or contact any one of the individual regiments. I'm sure one would want it in a display case somewhere

[desporterizer]

Its part of an estate I am helping clear out. I don't know what its worth, thats why I am asking.

 

[skirsons]

The C and E museum in Kingston may want it

[Old Ranger]

Maybe nobody else cares but "Jimmy" will be going Home for Christmas to CFB Kingston.
Thanks to desporterizer for helping make this happen.

I am posted to CFSCE right now actually! Where's he going to?

 

[Old Ranger]

My son is in JSR and will be getting Jimmy as a Christmas present. (hasn't seen it yet) He hasn't decided whether he will keep him or donate to the Regiment. Son lives in PMQ's so either way Jimmy will be back at CFB Kingston (where I assume he came from). I think it's cool and it has certainly helped to make my Christmas.

Common item. Is an item that was available for purchase at the kit shop. Probably dates to 1960's. Is worth about $75. Hope this helps

 

[Old Ranger]

Thanks for the information. I thought it might be older. I'll pass on this info to my son. Still a neat piece of kit for a soldier serving in the Signals Regiment.

Another ashtray.
Mine isn't anywhere as fancy but its sterling silver and engraved
"Sergeant's Mess 1st Regiment RHA on the rim with the regimental crest in the centre.

Also have one made from the base of an 18pdr. dated 1911
