Topic: Molineaux and Webb 704 ? Piano Foot

[NevB]

I've had this for a while but only just spotted the 704 pattern in neilh's M and W catalogue which looks very similar. It is 3 1/4 x 1 1/4".


I've just taken another look, I don't think it's M&W.

One problem with a MW attribution for this is the colour. I could be wrong but I don't recall any registered MW pieces in green. There are several green examples matching unregistered items from the 1850s-1860s but nothing definitive as they tend to be smalls like piano feet or knife rests. Percival Vickers were much keener on green and this looks a good match for their number 2 foot.

Thanks Neil, I'll look into it.

Neil, I couldn't find it on your website but this is a link to a previous post which you replied to which shows it. Mods can you please retitle this, thanks.

I've just got another one which I'll post which I think is a PV No.13

Hi, I’m lucky enough to have most of the Molineaux and Webb and Percival Vickers insulators on Neil’s illustrations, I have numbers 1 and 2 on the PV list my 1 is green and no. 2 is clear. Your green one looks like my number 2 on the PV list. I’ve also included my Molineaux and Webb ones which are similar but not so bulky more shallow.
Cheers Mike

That's a nice collection, I do like the uranium yellow ones, I've also recently posted a PV no.13.
