included are a Toby Jug rendition of Churchill (circa 1952) acquired when we lived in post-war England in early 1950's during the same timeframe of Churchill's second stint as prime minister of England. This item is 9 inches tall and is Royal Doulton china (made in England). I've also included 14 book volumes, one of which was published in 1954 while we lived there and during his prime minister role (A Self Portrait by W. S. Churchill, 303 pages) and all others more recent publications (including 6-volume paperback edition of Churchill's The Second World War originally published in 1948).

This would be a great gift for the man who values history teaching us about life, focused on arguably the most consequential human being (for the Free World) of the 20th century. I've reached an advanced age where it is time to part with some possessions, which I've thoroughly explored and enjoyed, so others can benefit from their continued use.
The Toby is in like-new condition while the books, while intact, include signs of wear and some names/messages written inside front covers.
