That's only a guess, but what else could it be? Early '20s, I think. This came with a very interesting family group of WW I things, with photos and a document. The two brothers were WW I aviators. One of the photos is a unit photo around what I think is a Sopwith Camel.

I love the very early aviation things and this group is a keeper.

This family was Georgian royalty. Dukes. This trip I have acquired the brother's gold cross Order of St. George. I'll share it in a separate thread once I get back home. It makes quite an interesting family group.
