D21_001792 Souvenir China Camera
Item Reference: 001792
Category: Photography
Format: Artefact
Description: Souvenir made of china in the shape of a billowed camera. Bears the coat of arms and title ‘Paignton’, a coastal town in Devon.
Date: c. 1910s
Further Information: As of 1947, this variation is no longer Paignton’s coat of arms, though it was in use from at least 1905. Other identical sculptures exist, though with different crests (such as Skegness), suggesting the were mass-produced trinkets. Potentially, it was produced by Keele Street, in North Staffordshire, which became known for creating crested porcelain and china upon the outbreak of the First World War.
