Topic: A victorian pan stand

My new Victorian pan stand you will like this Anne.

Wow! That is nice Rob! Where did you find it?  Does it say Reigned 60 years? If so it dates from 1897, the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria. Looks to be in good condition as well? It'd look fabulous black-leaded.

Does it have a registration mark or say where it was made? 

[Trebor]

Yes it says Rreigned 60 years it would look good black leaded, and yes Keith it as a RD NUM,287788

Registered Nov-Dec 1896. ZEBO black leading is what you want if you decide to blacklead it  Rob - along with a lot of energy - I used to blacklead the cast iron fireplaces at the pub years ago and it's hard work!  (Middleton's in Kendal still sell it I think.)

Just checked the design number sequence on Great-Glass, Rob. The numbers relating to glass are there, but the non-glass ones can be dated by where they sit in the number sequence as well. http://www.great-glass.co.uk/glass%20notes/regnos.htm
