Sowerby Manchester and 2487 sets

<< < (2/2)

Anne:
Finally, a proper answer to this query:  the Manchester set and the 2487 set used some of the same pieces, but not all of them! 

It appears from a careful look at the most recently posted Sowerby catalogues on Mike Tomlin's website, that Sowerby created different combinations of pieces and depending on whether they were 5 or 7 piece sets gave them different names. 

So, the Manchester was a 7 piece set (with a choice of tall or short candlesticks) and 2487 was a 5 piece set (with the short candlesticks). Confusing, isn't it?!  ;D
