Sorry, can't improve the resolution.Have attached another poor quality snap. Along the bottom it says "The Headmaster will not tolerate bullies"

Saw it in an antique shop and wondered if was genuine or if someone was just good at signwriting. Thought it was the sort of thing that might stick in the mind of a school boy or girl

Hi,

I too have seen cupboards like this for sale and wonder if they may have originally come from the westmark school in America. One of them had a $ price on it and the other £1200. Also stated that they were possibly 1930's build.

Regards jilly

Dear Jilly,
                   I don't think cricket nor rugby where big in the States in the thirties ( or now for that matter). I think they are just fakes, especially if no one on your forum recalls it. KC

Hi KC
Thanks for the thought about the cupboard , BUT.
Boxing,Tennis,Quoits,Rugby, Punch bags, was not any of the sports we played at West Mark .But sometimes
Boxing/ punch bags did happen behind the Gardening Shed when there was a disagreement between boys.

Brian,

Thank you for good wishes, hope yours is great too.  The only aches and pains I have, is looking up what 'piroxicam' is used for!

Regards Jilly xx

Hi Jilly  Piroxicam is a Gel for muscle pain mainly knees elbows and neck pain.
Be sure to wash your hands before you go to the loo :'(, and after.
