Very suspicious. The description was grabbed from someone's website, but I don't know who. The picture looks like the one that we had at the museum four years ago, with a plastic emblem about 1/8 inch thick pasted on the top claiming that the set was made for the 1936 coronation.

Possibly not a scam to the buyer but definitely a scam to eBay. That listing will be pulled soon anyway.

The picture is of Hugo Holden's set. The description is copied and pasted from his restoration log. Forget it.
