Morris Chair

Again the names for this type of chair. I managed to get a Morris Chair in this good condition in 2006 when the government were clearing the old furniture form their offices and replaced it with new modern type of furniture.

I got hold of two of these chairs and it belong now to the Reinecke family.

Leopard Skin

t

The leopard skin were received from a friend in Warmbaths in 2011. The story of myself and the leopard skin date back to 1972 when I were driving in the Caprivi. I met this old man who hunted the leopard and he sold the skin to me.

I took the skin back home and got it prepared. Unfortunately I had a dog ( I hate that dog) who chewed the skin into pieces amd tha was the end of the leopard skin.

I never thought that I will ever have a skin again and out of the blue I received this gift.

Books

This little books were given to Sarel Reinecke. The date is 1970. Now today (2011) there is lots of books on the natural aspects of South Africa. Those days it were not so available and this is some of the books that were printed on nature in SA.

Captains Chair

The English people give their furniture names and in this case it is called a Captains Chair. I do not know the reason for this name. This was a chair I picked up ne day when I was leaving the dump area in Pretoria East. It were not servicable any more ( broken and the seat ruined) The date was in 2008.

The chair were restored and the seat fixed. The seat cost R300 to be repaired while the chair at the dumping site cost R25.

The chair is now part of this family.

DROM

This is a drum that I bought in the Caprivi when I was there in the early seventies from a old man living in his village. The drum were in actual use and it were not a souvenir type of drum.

Robert Reinecke

Hierdie skildery is deur 'n Mev B van der Merwe in 1967 aan Sarel Reinecke. George van Rhiyn wat 'n bekende skilder van die SALM was het dit gerestoureer.

Robert Reinecke was in die Staats Artillerie gewees in die Vryheidsoorlog waar hy gesneuwel het. Hy le begrawe in die Helde akker in Pretoria.

Die skildery was deel van die versameling wat in Skanskop gehou was en met die ontbinding van die meuseum was dit terugbesorg aan die familie.

Sy ma het blykbaar die grafsteen laat oprig vanuit Engeland waar sy gewoon het. Meer weet ons nie eintlik nie van hulle nie.
