CORONATION YEAR MEMENTOES
MINIATURE SOUVENIR CHARMS
Charms no bigger than a thumb nail will be worn by women all over the world this year as proof that they came to London for the Coronation. One firm is producing a whole range of these tiny gold mementoes of 1953. There are two groups of them, one of Coronation souvenirs and the other of famous London landmarks that, for the visitor to Britain, will be inseparable from their other impressions of Coronation year. In the first group are miniatures of the Royal Coach, the Coronation Chair, a symbolical Crowns and the Royal Cypher with the word “Coronation* underneath. There are also tiny but accurate models of a State Trumpeter and a Yeoman of the Guard. Among the London landmarks are Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, both produced in two sizes, and a two-dimen-sional and a three-dimensional model of St. Paul’s Cathedral. The Tower Bridge, Westminster Abbey and Nelson’s Column are also included in the designs.
