A British chocolate bar sent as a gift from a soldier to his wife 124 years ago is about to be sold off at auction for upward of $1,000, the NY Post reported.
The gift was accompanied by a note that read: “Marth, I hope you will get this alright your affectionate Husband Charlie – You can do as you like with it.”
The bar will be sold along with Charles’ note, a box featuring Queen Victoria and two medals from Platts’ time in the military — the Queen’s South Africa Medal and an India General Service Medal.
“Some of the chocolate, it seems, Marth did enjoy, however most remains in this special tin,” an auctioneer at Baldwin’s, which is handling the sale, noted.
