Comment: While this salt and pepper set may have been present on the family table, it was possibly not used as there is no sign of any pepper in the pepper shaker. The salt shaker cannot be opened at present.

Family notes:

Lionel Duffy was a conscientious objector on religious grounds. He belonged to a religious group, the friends, known during WW2 by the name the Christian Assemblies. Lionel had joined this group in the late 1930s-early 1940s. H was sentenced to detention in May 1942 and spent time at Hautu and possibly other camps in the central North Island. His brother Colin received a similar sentence later that year. While in camp Lionel worked bush-clearing. In his leisure time he used pieces of wood found in the bush to create small domestic items, many featuring wood inlay. Some he used in camp, and other pieces were made as gifts.

While in camp Lionel received visits from Violet Kingston who, with her parents Richard and May Kingston, would travel down by train.
