    Have the butler ring the family for dinner. :hilarious:

    The design registration number is from 1896. But of course that's not necessarily the year manufactured, just the earliest possible.

    I'm so grateful that people take the time to make such helpful sites and I worry that they'll go away. Just checking some old links that I transferred from my old computer that were to some great sites, I'm so sad that so many no longer exist.
