Thankyou
Thanks guys,
Great to read your assessment. That makes this little beast almost certainly the oldest item in my collection! I was quite sure it had some age to it, but I imagined early 19th Century, I certainly didn't think it may be as old as 17th Century!
I have read that Bichwa fell out of favour and become somewhat uncommon, does anyone have any thoughts on what was the predominant period of use of these?
Thanks again,
Russel
