I found this in a box of stuff my dad left me. I have no idea how he came to have it. I showed it off here once just before the site melt down, but  I was looking through some pictures and I thought some of you might like to see it again.



Enjoy!

That is a cool set to have! 40-50 HP should help date it.

40/50 was the official name for the Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost which was produced between 1908 and 1925. (You gotta love Wikipedia)

Yeah, seems like I looked that up before, too. I think the previous model was 20/30. I saw some of those for crazy money, like 300 or 400 pounds. My luck, mine is probably common as dirt.

I found this link to a Bonhams auction from 2006

Wow. That's encouraging. If someone offers me 350 for mine I'll be able to say "I used to have one just like that" LOL

When I find something special like that it goes into my special drawers. No one messes with the special stuff.

Nice find.  And pardon me, do you have any grey poupon?
