Untold Tales of Old British Columbia

ANOTHER BRITISH COLUMBIAN RARITY! Here is my latest Wedgwood Acquisition repatriated from the State of Oregon. It dates from late 19th to early 20th century and note the design where the Sun is positioned over the Union Jack (the Canon Beanlands Crest) that can be found through the BC Parliament Buildings before it was revised to the BC Flag we know today. These are difficult antiques to find, and have collected them largely from outside Canada. Have a Look!

LOOK AT THESE HISTORIC BRITISH COLUMBIAN RELICS! They date from 1908, the year that marked both the 50th anniversary of the Fraser River gold rush, and the 100th anniversary of Simon Fraser’s descent down the river that bears his name today. The site of the celebrations was conducted in the City of New Westminster. In that year Premier Richard McBride attended the unveiling of the 1908 Simon Fraser Statue. I just acquired two of these objects today from new friend Rachel (who lives on the Malahat, thank you!) that compliment nicely the medallion I purchased a couple years ago. The Odd Fellows arrived in BC in 1858, and so I imagine they participated in the ceremonies of that year. Imagine being alive in 1908, some of the early ‘58ers were still around then. These three 1908 curiosities have now joined others in my Cabinet Collections. Have a Look!
