Thanks Bernard it was the moulding round the sides reminded me of shells which made me think of the Arabella figure and frog but now looking at it well ?. So could we be thinking U.S.A . Or are there factory's producing these nowadays Far East. But then again surely we would be flooded with them and would it be worth there time just to produce these. There is wear to base so i am pretty sure it is not new. I am learning all the time and love a mystery cheers Mark
