Antiques Roadshow 8th September 2013
The Keef Family collection made its first public appearance on the Antiques Roadshow from Eastbourne Bandstand: 2 when Oliver Keef discussed it and his grandfather George Keef with Roadshow expert Graham Lay.
The Antiques Roadshow page on this blog (on the menu under the main heading of the blog) also contains the Antiques Roadshow segment (also shown below) together with notes of what was said.
This blog mainly focuses on the contents of The History of The Army of George 1, the Journal recounting the campaigns fought by George Keef, his brothers Arthur and Hubert, and their friends in the 1870s and 1880s.

This is a truly wonderful story and will prove to be a great resource for anyone interested in the history of toy soldiers and vintage wargaming. Thank you.

ReplyDeletereader but I've never been compelled to leave a comment.
I've bookmarked your website and shared this on Twitter.
Many thanks again for a really good article!
My love of wargaming came as an obvious development of my love of history, and so its quite natural that I should have an interest in the "history of wargaming". My sincere thanks to all involved for this fascinating website, but in particular for this amazing story of the early days of the hobby. Since it appears the original link to the Antiques Roadshow episode above is no longer working, I tracked down the Georland segment and have included a link to it for interested parties.
