This exceptional railway dining car coffee pot was manufactured by the renowned British silversmiths James Deakin & Sons and heavily struck with the official South African Railways (SAR / S.A.S.) property stamp. Built to withstand the rigorous demands of early-to-mid 20th-century luxury railway travel, this heavy-duty hard-soldered piece features an internal removable strainer basket and lid. A wonderful collector's item representing the golden age of South African railway history and hospitality. Good vintage condition with clear maker's marks and railway stamps. Shows expected surface scratches, minor dings, and light wear consistent with age and active service use on dining trains, with silver plating remaining strong and intact. Dimensions: 26cm h. Bowl: 13cm diameter x 5.5cm h
