An Anonymous Collection

Some very interesting pieces in this collection. This is the first example that I've seen of a Grampus without an ashtray. Dunhill advertised, in a YZ sales sheet for their New York shop, the availability of a Grampus without an ashtray, in goldstone with amber coloured trimmings. (Selling for $18 at that time.)

The umbrella/parasol handle is, I feel, very unlikely to be YZ. The workmanship is very good but it's simply not in keeping with the design and humour of the YZ range.
