Appeal after family heirlooms stolen from Kilburn home

Published on Wednesday 4 July 2018

We need your help to find a large amount of unique jewellery that has been stolen from a house in Kilburn.


The burglary occurred between 11.20am and 4.45pm on Wednesday, June 27.

The burglars smashed a window at the back of the house and, once inside, stole a large amount of distinctive jewellery.

In particular a white faced gold pocket watch was stolen. The watch was on a gold chain that also included a dented gold vesta box - used to keep matches.

The watch included an engraving on the back of the watch, inside an opening on the rear, that reads:

“Wilfred Hague 21st Birthday 1927”

The watch belonged to the victim’s great grandfather and was of great sentimental value. The picture above shows a chain and vesta box similar to that which was stolen.

Also taken during the burglary was a gold bracelet made from a half albert pocket watch chain which has a Russian “KOPEK” coin inserted into it.

A further two antique silver vesta boxes, one embossed with a picture of a terrier dog and another engraved with a deer head along with pocket watch fobs engraved with the initials ‘KAH’, were taken.
