A pair of Royal Worcester menu holders c.1874, modelled by James Hadley as London 'down-and-outs' wearing workaday clothes and hardened expressions, standing on cobbled bases, impressed marks and registration diamonds for 1874, 14.5cm. (2)

The menu cards would have been slung over the figures in the sandwich-board fashion.
