Luggage Trunk


Another collection of mine... "made in England".. that the word I first heard when I approach the seller... I guess it make a big difference when someone mentioned "England" & I guess that could be the killer word..

It's not the "Made In England" that made me took the bait. It was the appearance of the case that attracts me. The originality of it. The detail of the trunk is so genuine. It looks like a wood grain. Cool.

I've combined the Trunk with the Helmet, "rank" and a Bagpipe sleeve to make it looks as if in the 40's...

Just too bad I've sold the Bagpipe few years back just to earn some decent income when I was jobless then...

WWII British Army Helmet aka 'Brodie'


Another stuff I have with me. A WWII British Army Helmet also known as 'Brodie'.
Bought it for RM10.00 a few years back. Just not my luck since the helmet is not a complete helmet. There isn't any strap nor bracing at all.

According to other collectors, It should have a marking/coding at the left inner part of the helmet to indicate the year it was produced. Mine was rusty, even after I've cleaned it up I can't locate the marking at all or perhaps I could have scrapped it off with my steel brush.

A bit dent but still looks cool to me....

Badminton Racquete- Dunlop Fort





Badminton is close to Malaysian daily lifetyle. You'll get to see badminton court all over the place especially among the chinese.
I manage to secure a Badminton racket from my father store recently. It has been there since 60's. Dunlop Fort.

It comes with frame to hold the racket to prevent it from defect of the Malaysian weather which is humid. Since that it's made of wood. come with leather grip. It still have the old string. Not much information of this racquete though. gotta seach for it.

Feeding Bottle & Mixer





Been a while since I last update my bolg. Was kinda busy with work.
This time around I would like to share about feeding bottles that I have in my collection. I know there's a few type of feeding available in Malaysia but these few is the only I could owned at the moment.

I have the normal shape feeding which able to feed 200ml of milk. It's the same design as what we have right now in market but the only difference is it is made of glass. I've got 3 of it at the moment and too bad it's not a complete set.

I do have the banana shape like feeding bottle. It comes in 3 sizes. Small, Medium & large. For now I only owned the medium size feeding bottle.

Still doing my research about feeding bottles and its accesories. Will add more information soon.
