Thanks Everyone,

I used the 'finishes' & different maker variants point to explain to the wife why I needed to buy something that I already had ��. My usual experience in an antique shop these days is to find items that are overpriced, these were cheap so couldn't pass on the chance.

Cheers Scotch
