Hi Jon.
You are very welcome. I'm glad I was of some help, though as I said, I'm not
that clued up myself. That's why I joined th group to see if I could get some
answers too.
I know that Britains produced these items in the 60/70's, but I'm afraid that's
all I can tell you. I may be able to help you more when my parents come up in a
couple of weeks. I'm sure my Dad will be able to help some as he gave me my
first set.
I was thinking perhapse 3.50 for the hinges as they are difficult to get hold
of, and you can have the pillar top with my best wishes.
All the Best, Tracey
