Princess Mary xmas tin 1914 contents

[RMR]

Hi all is their a list anywhere of the full contents available in these tins?i bought today a very clean tin nearly all the original frosting, tobacco, ciggies, xmas card and photo even the name of the man who received it plus an unused pipe but smaller than a normal pipe which fits in the tin without the other contents the question is were any of these tins given with a pipe?if so is the pipe shown the correct pipe.Bought direct from the vets familly who claim they have allways been together. I know a bullet pencil was given but with the tobacco and ciggies would not fit within the tin were pipes also given.ANY INFORMATION GRATEFULLY RECEIVED.Thanks Roger

All the items that were sent in the tins had the Cypher of Princess Mary on. So your pipe should have it on the silver band.

Thanks to both Luc and Marc for the replies the links provided were very useful,there is no cypher on the pipe however it seems demand outstripped supply and as the pipe is such a quaint size who knows maybe they have allways been together.I dare say Chief Torpedo Instructor E.A.Silk R.N. didn't mind when he got this box.Thanks and regards Roger
