Rowland Ward Kenya / Hammersley and Co

Hi everyone I picked up these rather fine coffee cans today. By Rowland Ward Kenya / Hammersley and Co
Rowland Ward had an almost monopoly on taxidermy around the 1900's and prepared some of the best example around and they are still very sought after, me I would rather have the coffee cans!

Hmmm what info do you want?
This mark was used by Hammersley, the manufacturers, from 1939 omwards.

As it’s a known manufacturer I’ve moved it into the British Pottery section. We don’t seem to have a Hammersley thread already so I’ve edited the title to allow people to find it via our search facility and google

Hi only put up for interest wasnt sure if was for the British section or African section, thank you.

On the same topic. I have a Hammersley Rowland Ward Nairobi one pint tankard illustrated with an African Hoopoe. I was given it by my father when I left Kenya in 1967 to attend university in the UK. I have never seen another one.
As I am moving house and everything is in storage, I haven't a decent image, only this crop from a larger photo.

I believe it is similar to this Hammersley tankard (10cm x 10cm) with a plainer handle


I guess they were produced with the six birds. Had anyone seen a similar one?
