This listing is for this rarer Home-Made Potted Meats variety of the Army and Navy Co-Operative Society Ltd., London. S.W. pictured. Potted meats were a preserved meat product, common before refrigeration became widespread.

The Army and Navy Co-operative Society Ltd, was a British consumer co-operative originally founded in 1871. It was founded by British Army and Royal Navy officers to provide affordable goods to military personnel and their families. It began as a co-operative at 105 Victoria St., London S.W.

Measures approximately 3 1/2” wide across the lid, and 1 3/4” tall.

The lid is in very good, clean condition with an excellent clear dark transfer, and no chips or cracks. The base is also in very clean, good condition without chips or crack.

This is an authentic antique advertising pot sourced during my recent buying trip to England. I have been sourcing these wonderful antique pots for over 12 years from friends who are actually digging them up in ancient rubbish sites all over England. I purchased my first antique Advertising pot when my husband and I had the wonderful opportunity to live in England in the 1980’s. Our daughter was born there and we enjoyed living in England so much we often went back to visit after returning to the US.

Interestingly, this same daughter’s husbands job moved them to London were we have enjoyed visiting our grandchildren and doing serious antiquing.

On our many visits we have became friends with many of the “diggers” excavating the ancient dumpsites all over the UK and now source thousands of pots from them every year. I still love the charm they add to every room they are placed in.

Please study all images as they are the best representation of the actual item you will receive. These are scarce and getting harder and harder to source.

Returns are not excepted on these rare authentic pieces but please contact if you have any questions.
