That's the one Dennis I bought mine in Mauritius.They are very delicate and to think after having three boys and three grandchildren and it was always within touching distance to them it's still in one piece.

Hi Jim,
Cant recall where I got mine from.
When my son was little. He managed to push over the China cabinet.
Lost a whole pile of stuff.
Can't believe that it survived.
He nearly didn't when his mom got hold of him.
Lost precious things from our early days in England.
You more than likely got your butterfly tray from the Argentine Den. Thats where I got mine. Must say though the butterflys are looking a bit moth eaten now. Cheers JS
#9 Still got mine Jim. The ones with the Geisha in the bottom were usually eggshell china and may be valuable today. Wont know until dead and by then it will be too late. Cheers JS

Often woke up in my bunk with strange things I couldn't remember where I got them.
And yes some were of the human species. Well almost.
#9 I've never seen those but I used to buy a pennant in as many ports as I could, they were made of felt and had the name of the country or port and an emblem e.g. England had a rose and NZ had a fern leaf, I've got quite a collection, anyone else buy those. JC
I have about 20 of them from most places.
