Sorry I do not know where the exhibition was and I would like to think that the two gentlemen are Robert Paterson and his Son Campbell Paterson. I have tried to find images of the gentlemen but have no positive luck in finding any.
The world’s first successful "instant" coffee
essence. It was manufactured by the Glasgow-based company R. Paterson &
Son (Robert and son Campbell) Invented in 1876 by Campbell Paterson, Camp
Coffee is a dark, concentrated syrup made from sugar, water, coffee beans, and
25% chicory root extract. It was originally developed as a quick way for the
British Army—specifically the Gordon Highlanders regiment—to prepare coffee
easily during military field campaigns in India.
This grand marketing display is built to resemble a rugged mountain hillside covered with miniature military tents ("tente d'abri" or pup tents). This setup visually reinforces the product's military heritage and origins as a staple for field camps.
This is from a large collection ranging from late Victorian times to about the 1940's, with various plates from around the south coast area and holiday ones from further afield so this could be from the Kent area, hopefully as I go through them I will be able to get a better idea and also possibly a family name as there is a lot of portrait / group photos and the plates are going to be various sizes so please check the size on each listing, if anyone recognises the team I would appreciate knowing.

Very Important please read below.
E Bay has recently changed their terms and conditions for private sellers such as myself so unfortunately some UK and some International postage will now be all tracked, so I apologise for any increase in postage cost where applicable. E Bay also now charge the UK buyer a Buyer Protection Fee as seen below in Pricing, at the moment because of this If I am unable to send out an invoice (As E Bay Will now send this with this fee applied), anyone purchasing more than 1 item will be charged, if applicable, a postage charge for each Item, so If I cannot apply combine postage at point of sale I will refund the postage difference as soon as all items have been paid for, I apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
UK POSTAGE is 1st class, 2nd class Letter / Large letter / Padded Jiffy Bag/Small parcel
But there are now more cheaper options available for postal costs at checkout, both UK and International, but bear in mind not all options have tracking,
this all depending on quantity and weight as per cost from either Royal mail or through E Bay I do not and never have, built any charges for packaging or time involved in packing items, what I charge are as they are on the Royal Mail price lists freely available on line or at the local post office.
If the package appears damaged on receipt, please take a photo before opening.
EUROPEAN and REST OF THE WORLD POSTAGE Letter/ Large Letter / Small Parcel depending on quantity and weight as per cost from either Royal Mail or Parcel Post Worldwide, this will now be tracked but with a standard non tracked option available at checkout. If you use this Normal International service, please be aware that the buyer is responsible for any import duties /taxes and any other local delivery charges incurred on arrival in the destination country, I am sure E-Bay takes the VAT at billing time, so please check locally what the starting point is, value wise, before these charges come into effect before you bid on or Buy an item. At the moment E Bay will not issue any postage labels for the USA So for the time being I will not be taking bids for my items until E Bay clarifies the trade situation regarding low value items entering the USA.There is an option at checkout to use the Standard International letter charges with no tracking.
I pack the items well and have done so for a number of years, but once I have posted the Letter/ Large Letter/ Parcel I cannot guarantee how they are handled in transit, it is a risk that you have to bear, please consider this before bidding or buying.
If the package appears damaged on receipt, please take a photo before opening.
PLEASE NOTE Buyers with less than 30 feedback scores please be aware that we require payment as soon as the auction has ended and we will only post to verified addresses by PayPal and E-Bay. I am sorry about this but we have had a lot of people bidding and just disappearing so have spoiled it for other new E-Bayers we will review it in a few months time, existing new buyers who have bought in the past are not effected by this.
PLEASE ALSO NOTE I will not stop an auction to turn the item into a buy now purchase, or activate the make offer button, so please do not ask me to do this as refusal sometimes offends. I will also not stop multiple auctions to then put them on as a job lot, so again please do not ask.
I WILL ALWAYS DO COMBINED POSTAGE, if you buy or are bidding on more than one item over a couple days or buying an item, I am more than happy to wait until you are finished, then just let me know that you have finished buying and I will send you an invoice for the items and the combined postage, all I ask is that you let me know that is your intentions.
Many Thanks for Looking
