Hi Keith, the Arminghall special was a joke attribution because my wife saw one almost identical on a car boot sale in Arminghall this week. When the correct maker comes up it will be interesting, thank you.

Just had confirmation from Jill Devine that weights were made at 'the Foundry' and were part of the 'papillon' range probably by Gwyneth Newland, does anyone know what she is doing now ? I have looked without success, ::) ;D ;D

I have a crazy "The Foundry" weight which has holes in it and is iridescent.  Never did find much about the studio though....
