Ah, so not old at all really! I'll had no idea it was a trade name rather than a sentiment!. Thankyou very much, that's a great resource.
Thank you. The surround is a bit like a perm that's gone out of control- curls everywhere!
My amateur search skills tell me this necklace is possibly 19th Century?. Would that be likely with its construction? Is it possible to date it...
Think this one may stay with me. Cheap white metal surround but I rather like the simplicity. Does this surround date her at all please? Thankyou...
Does that help date it at all Cheryl? Or can anyone help translate the dates here please?...
You have to fold the little ring down on the puff to close the lid. Unless it's not original to the pot I don't think it would fit a mirror or...

Found this lovely little bottle rattling round in a box of rubbish. No idea how it has survived in such amazing condition as it is hallmarked...
Maybe these could have a two way function?. I always assumes that farmers tied twine round their calves to prevent small furries and insects going...
My imagination is working overtime :yuck: Another thread that's taken an unexpected route :hilarious:
