Winston Churchill, large Æ oval cast portrait plaque, c. 1940, bust three-quarters left, wearing jacket with bow tie, inscription above ‘Our Skipper’, beaded border, 225 x 175mm. Very fine and unpublished, rare (£80-120)

Although the legend suggests Churchill as a leader of his Country in the Second World War, the portrait has a relative youthfulness.
