| Boer War Memorial Plate, Canning, NS c 1903 |
| Orig. ceramic saucer - Size - 17 cm Found - Hopkinton, MA Wicker wrapped. |
| Probably Canada's rarest Boer War plate is this small souvenir saucer, featuring the memorial to Capt. Harold Borden, Canada's most famous casualty during the Boer War, in Canning, Nova Scotia. The wicker casing, completely covering the back, alone, makes it unique among Canadian memorabilia plates. We have never seen another. |
