Title: Eric Hoglund for show.

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

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 ?

That price list is from 1965, with such a low design number I imagine that the design itself dates from ten or so years earlier.

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

Any time Keith. I wondered about those ears, angle of the torso, horizontal versus vertical and mine looks to have a tale but that might be an air bubble behind the prunt...

At least you know yours is some form of tripod, Keith. 
And I was very convinced by John's tail.
Different species.   ???  ;)
