Pinkspoons:
Someone who knows their onion will probably come along soon and have a simple answer!
I hope! :lol:
I'm intrigued...
vidfletch:
Oh! All right then!
Pattern 9729 was launched in the 1969 catalogue. It was 5.75" high and was not available in Ruby.
However! In 1970 & 1971 it was available in Ruby!!! Then for 1972 and 1973 it wasn't again! LOL!!!
In 1974, Pattern 9729 was increased in height and was again available in Ruby.
You can see how Whitefriars went bust with management like that! All adds to the magic though.
The Ruby colour in general had been available for a long time in many different pieces as one colour from at least 1940. Prior to that it was used as decoration on different colours. Ruby coloured glass was difficult to produce and the use of Gold to make the colour made it expensive! Selenium was used in later years and was cheaper.

Pinkspoons:
Yay! :lol:
I was wondering when you'd fly in and solve the mystery, Vidfletch. :D
It's odd that it doesn't appear in the 1970/71 supplements, though. :?
Tramonto.:
Super-duper stuff, thanks!!
Dare I ask....Baxter or Powell ?
Pinkspoons:
I think Baxter designed the bark range, but don't quote me on that... I can only be wrong so many times in one day! hehe
