A very rare piece of Queen Elizabeth II coronation memorabilia in the form of a metal dustbin! It was produced by YEWCO (Yorkshire Engineering and Welding Co). YEWCO were based in Bradford and one of the main products they produced was metal dustbins! There doesn’t seem to be very many of these out there, which suggests only a small number were produced.
It looks like the dustbin was once gold plated but it’s worn off considerably on the outside. There is also some wear to the enamel on the Queens portrait.
