o.k., so I know it's not, but surely you can see the vague similarity - a sort of cross between a tricorn and an elephants foot ;). Wrong colour - I do have a gold-amber wfrs. tricorn, so I know this one is way way too dark (and much too big), and is more like the elephants foot sort, - but has only the flat ground base that you see. Not a mould finish base, or a ground pontil in sight, and a fire polished top rim (as opposed to ground and bevelled). Quit big at 31.5 cms. tall, and 9.5 cms. wide at the base. Interestingly, from about 2 cms. to about 6 cms. up from the base, each alternate flute carries within it another short flute running up and disapearing into a hole in the body. Wear can be mis-leading, but I might go with 20 - 40 years if pushed, and needless to say no marks. Yes, it does actually lean slightly. Grateful for anyone's thoughts, and thanks for looking.

I know what you mean Paul but I have seen a few of these, one had a label. It was a long time ago, but I think it was a "Made in Czechoslovakia" one. Don't hold me to that, as my memory fails me, but I can say it is not Whitefriars.

thanks Emmi - appreciate the reply. I really didn't think it was - but you never know, someone might have just said it was a rare early experimental prototype ;D cheers Paul S.

LOL! that's what I had hoped when I saw the one years go, before I turne it round and saw the label!!!
We can live and dream!
