Post by: dinklepip on October 29, 2010, 05:27:32 PM

Acquired this ages ago and just found it in a box.  any ideas?  double checked with my UV light and it has a uranium content, also has a lovely lustre which the images don't pick up unfortunately, stands 5.75".

It looks (and I could be way off base), finish wise, like Loetz Olympia.  :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
