Baronet Stickers

Richard Peers Symons, M.P. (Later Sr Richard Peers Symons, Baronet) by Joshua Reynolds, 1770-1771.

Thomas Johnstone Lipton (1848-1931), Scottish yachtsman. Lipton, famous for founding the Lipton tea brand, was a keen yachtsman. He competed five times in the America's Cup between 1899 and 1930. This photograph, sent by Lipton to a friend, carried an inscription dated 17 October 1902, referring to himself as skipper of his steam yacht the Erin (purchased 1898). Lipton made his fortune by investing in tea plantations to supply his chain of grocery stores, starting in Glasgow and then extending across the UK. He had been created Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (KCVO) in 1901, and was made a baronet in 1902.

In the 1860s there was one man who was the nemesis of the New South Wales bushrangers - Sir Frederick Pottinger. A gambler, a dandy and a baronet, Pottinger became one of the most renowned frontier lawmen in Australia facing off against the likes of Frank Gardiner, Johnny Gilbert and Ben Hall.

You've got a great sense of style and so does this Baron Teddy Bear! He's a great gift for yourself or others who love to be fabulous.
