Is this image your own eBay one? If not it will need to be removed as it contravenes GMB copyright policy. For queries about eBay items please always use the eBay URL.

Hi
it is my own pic..and it is not on ebay..just the way i marked it..will replace with another pic i have..as soon as i can find the edit button !

[KevinH]

Thanks, I look forward to the revised pic.

Plus, if you could please, a pic of the base - just to help with my thoughts ... which are ... it's probably a Vasart Ltd item but might be Strathearn. One of the "transitional" ones during the few years either side of the company changing name.

hi
more photos..unsure how to take off the other one.

Thanks Jean.

I have used my moderator ability to remove the original image and add a note to that effect.

Although your new images are oval rather than round, I can see that the base finish is fire polished and slightly indented which certainly fits with the later Vasart Ltd/ early Strathearn period. But to say whether it is actually Vasart Ltd or Strathearn is beyond my current skills.

Hi Kevin
Thank you for your help (i searched for ages last night for an edit button and couldnt find it ).

Jean, you can only edit your own posts for an hour after making them. Beyond that time you need to ask a Moderator to do it for you. HTH.
