Certificates & Documents
Certificate: Hamma & Co., Stuttgart (1934)- Certificate: Hart & Son, London (1923)
- Certificate: W. E. Hill & Sons, London (1921) The certificate is listed in the auction catalogue of Puttick & Simpson's in 1921 but not in the later Christie's catalogue so it has probably been lost.
1921 or earlier
