Title: Proposed visit to Kew Archives a.m. 21.10.16

I'm intending to be at Kew tomorrow morning, and so far have a couple of GMB Rd. Nos. to photograph  -  if anyone has a last minute request for any images for Reg. Nos., let me know before 9.00 a.m. tomorrow please. :)

Hi Paul,

Not sure if it's too late (I'm posting from China and always muddle up the time difference), but I'd be very grateful if you could take a look at 795461 and 795462. These were both registrations for the Jobling 11700 2-handled celery vase but I've never seen an example of the former.

Thanks :)

Steven

good afternoon Steven  -  being east of just about most of us, then you are already in your Friday afternoon  -   have to say I didn't realize that all of China was on a standard GMT plus 8 hours, although this must make things easier than having several time zones. :)

You're not too late, and I'll do my very best for you.             I do already have some of the Kew pictures of Jobling Registrations, but apparently neither of these two, unfortunately.           Always possible that Rd. 795461 never went into general production, but the fact that there were two Nos. issued does indicate more than one design.

I'll post the pix etc. under the original thread which you can access via Steven's link above  -  trust that's o.k. for everyone??
