Geocache Description:

This puzzle cache is my dedication to some famous antique crockery.

 


Famous Antique Crockery

It was in the latter half of the 19th Century that this famous antique crockery was first crafted. Over the years the primary item has been added to, some pieces have been copied and one piece even got stolen. 

The crockery has traveled many miles during it's life and lent out on many occasions, usually for a year at a time, although sometimes for longer when the keepers are deemed worthy. There was an occasion in the middle of the last century when it was kept on the south coast for much longer. 

Because of its rarity and prestige it has become much sort after and many millions of pounds have been spent by those who wish to display it within their private collections. Mostly the collectors have been residents of England but in the past enthusiasts from other countries have been invited to tender for the honour of keeping the antiquity. The tender process is open to all regardless of status.

Although these days it is usually kept somewhere in one of the countries larger cities occasionally it may be homed in smaller towns. However during the summer it is usually spotted in the London area, where until recently it was watched over by a couple of twins.

To discover the cache you can decipher the location using the following:

[1993][1884-1923][1942][2006+1952][1903+1929][2001*1988][1970+1975-1871]
[1869][2000*1917][1872/1996][1931-1932][1981+1887][1935-1961][1901][1948]
