8 inches high with gold flecks and a small polished pontil mark,the dealer thought it may have been S&W's but I'd be very surprised if it was,

I have a feeling it might be french perhaps, but ... just a hunch.

I was thinking more 'The Twilight Zone' !!

You rang...

Could they be flecks of mica? When cased in amber they can look gold in colour.

Legras, by any chance?

[keith]

Could be right John,hadn't considered Legras thanks Ivo I'll have a look around,

[keith]

Well I've looked at just about every type of Legras known to man ( and woman) and can't see anything like it, Ivo, what makes you think it may be Legras ?

[Ivo]

It is what French antique dealers usually call this colour.
