[QUOTE="Tom Mackay, post: 234082, member: 4589"]SBSVC, thanks for searching ! It's very possible they're from an Asian design that was used for a number of decades. I say that because I know this was in my family quite some time before I was born. My Maternal Grandfather traveled much of the world as an agent /representative for a number of London businesses and they acquired a lot of stuff. (We have pics of my maternal Grandma going up the Amazon on a steamer. What a vacation!) Wiped out in the depression of 19-21 and he died. Hard times. Family saved what they could and emigrated to Canada in two waves. Youngest, daughter (my Mother) didn't get much. Also, a decade or two back, I saw an item - new - in a store IDENTICAL to one my maternal Granddad picked up in China. The experience did help to put "things" and "stuff" in a new perspective.[/QUOTE]
