Carved RMC tea trays etc.
One of the members was asking about the carved Royal Military College of Canada tea tray (shown), which he brought to the Bytown Military Collector`s meeting. I followed up with Louis E. Grimshaw, Military Antiques & Collectables.
The carved RMC artifacts, which included single and multiple picture frames, trays, boxes, etc were carved by Sgt Middleton, who was on staff at RMC during the 1920s. Louis believes that Sgt Middleton sold the material himself vice through the RMC kit shop.
The RMC Museum (may have/likely has) a collection of carved items by Sgt Middleton.
