Title: Edinburgh & Leith Flint Glass Works Christmas Greetings/ Advert Dish
Post by: Alsretro on January 11, 2017, 05:01:17 PM

Just a week or two late for Christmas but was pleased to get this in a boxed lot at a local auction. I'm guessing this is 1950s and having read my Chance Expressions, I'm led to think this is maybe by Webb rather than E&L themselves or Chance. This measures just over 4 1/2ins x 3 3/8ins and around 1/2in high. Any thoughts would be appreciated thanks.

It has to be for "Twiglets". Correct period, correct size and shape. ;D

Do Twiglets still exist?

I liked Twiglets. My Grandpa only brought them out on very special occassions, so they have a significant emotional impact on me.
I was never bothered about what the occassion was, but there were twiglets.
