Amber glass horn. But by who please?
« on: May 10, 2010, 11:46:46 AM »
G'day to you all.  I expect that we have all been busy during the weekend at fairs and the likes!
Picked up this little Baby myself, but despite its molded Rd number to its base, I am lost as to who may have produced it and when?
The formation of its "faux pincered" top and base may be the give-away, but as yet cannot find it upon other items.

Rd 00208.  Amber flint glass and standing 6" at its highest with a base size of 5" in total length.

One of a pair perhaps?   :thup:You guys are so good this and so I live in hope that you can shed some light.  Thank you.  :thup:

Seems likely that you're missing the first digit off the registration number

Cheers for that Lus . . .  My eyes are going to get me into trouble one of these days! Just had a further look (with my glasses on!)  the Rd. number DOES read Rd 100208.  ::)  Thank you again. Jazz

Thank you for showing this, Roy.

Nice quality photos (as usual), and the opalescence highlights the details well, especially the little 'thorns' on the horn's side.
