What happened: A 126-year-old Cadbury chocolate bar from the Boer War era is expected to fetch a high price at auction. Auctioneers describe the bar as very rare, though likely unappetising due to its age.
Why it matters:
- The auction highlights historical interest in wartime memorabilia and confectionery.
- Collectors and history enthusiasts may be particularly interested in this unique item.
MNN Take: This Cadbury bar serves as a tangible link to the past, showing how food items were preserved and valued during wartime. Its rarity makes it more of a collector's item than a treat.
