Nick Cook (USA) unknown burr natural edge bowl 9x8 cm with souvenir part turned platter from Ray Key Atlanta demo 3x27cm. Signed My favourite memory of Ray was when he did a demonstration in Atlanta, Georgia. He did his usual platter demo producing a rim detail, cutting it away and doing another to show a variety of rim treatments. After going through 8 or 10 different designs, he said he would finish the platter and leave it for the local chapter. As he made the second cut, the piece split and half went up into the light fixture and the other half flew down the centre aisle of the group. Luckily it did not hit anyone. He collected the two pieces, signed one, Dale Nish and Nick Cook stating he could not put his name on such a disaster. He did finally sign it and I kept it. Ray had a great sense of humour. I am proud to have known him and to be part of the collaboration project. The Ray Key Collaboration Auctionn The Ray Key Collaboration Auction

Similar in design to its sister box the Army and Navy Tennis equipment box the label at first site appears to be a single lithograph but there are in fact separate labels. This allowed updates for further editions as the rules were changing rapidly. The central image of a tennis match shows four players on an hourglass court with high poles and nets. To the right the rules show the poles at seven feet and the net at five feet. Rules for doubles and singles also include handicapping. Further to right the contents describe early equipment including India rubber balls. To the left confirmation of the rules from 1875 is accompanied by a diagram of the dimensions showing how to erect the court.Interestingly there are three holes in the bottom of the box, these allow for a press to sit flat and secure.
