    Now, that's a fine little beast!

    Did you find it in Australia?


    Cheers

    Hi Tony no This one is coming from the motherland but I think both examples were originally found in Malta

    This is certainly a rare thing. I only knew of one and yours makes two as you say. Is there a date stamp anywhere on it. We assume mid 1930s but can't be nearer than that. ::Neil::
