Two Comoy's Golden Grain bought in the early 1980s . . . "Made in London England" stamped on the shanks + Two from W.O. Larsen - SIGNATURE VINTAGE MIX and CLASSIC.

1) Shape 588 - Poker 1/8 Bent . . . traditional shape bowl as seen on the Duke and Don from Dunhill and even the Tankard from Peterson.
2) Shape 589 - Dublin 1/4 Bent . . . weird Dublin if ever I saw one which had it been a Dunhill shape would assuredly have been listed as a Quaint.
