Only £2.50 each so a bargain and lovely things even if not gold. Does the style tell you their age? Thanks for looking :-) [ATTACH=full]351906[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]351907[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]351908[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]351909[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]351910[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]351911[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
