Not seen one of these before, I believe it's a 'Monkey Bottle' signed and dated, picked up at a table top sale.

  Fabulous. Well done.

Great find Keith. It feels good when these unexpected things turn up.

Decanter according to a retail price list, that is not a date but item number H166.

Monkey? Looks more like cow to me but his figures have confused me before!

Thanks all, I stand corrected John  again, are they from around then ?

I think it is indeed a Monkey bottle - actually a Gorilla Bottle.  Never seen a cow with legs that solid.

  I've never seen a gorilla with ears like that though.

Thanks again John
