Hello friends.
I have this on the internet:
1911 Daimler ceramics paper box, acquired.
I've never seen such.
Is it rare? and there is information about it?

Thanks Mike

Very nice find Mike, I really like all these 'Giftware' models, the black seats look unusual to me, normally they would be dark red, (or Maroon if you prefere) but the experts on this line of models are "yys4bob", RVREVO" and "moyboy", (I am sure there are others) and hopefully they will give you some valuable information about your Daimler.

This came packaged with a pictorial representation of stationary items as shown. In the listing I have for the Daimler, there are 14 variations of the model in plated form shown, but I think there are more than this. Two of these have black seats. The body colour varies from silver through pale gold, dark gold and lastly a coppery finish. The last colour will not have the cast columns on the base, and some of these were used up on giftware items but had the screws covered by plastic sleeves. Bases with either 2 line or 3 line text can be found. Models without the cast pillars have the screw holes in the base widely spaced, the cast pillars are closer together. The coppery versions have holes that are the same distance apart as the columns.

Other models can be found on this giftware item, including the Y1 Model T Ford and the Y12 Thomas Flyabout.
