Title: Cheeky Japanese girl
Post by: Lustrousstone on January 13, 2008, 03:59:50 PM

1950s Saucy half-pint mug made in Japan in the 1950s (can anyone tighten up the date from the registered design number please) and sold/distributed by Bourne of Harlesden.

Does anyone know what TT means in connection with patent?

She also has a sister apparently see here (http://cgi.ebay.ie/PAIR-LET-EM-SWING-MUGS_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQitemZ6142811338)

I'm fairly sure there is a male version of these, and you can pretty much guess which part moves around.  :blush:

I had two of these, one i've still got but it's identical to this one (including the stamp), the other one had a different mark and was slightly different, unfortunetly I can't remember what it said on the base.  ::)

Does this help?

Thanks for that TC, hadn't seen that site. 1968 or thereabouts would appear to be the answer. Newer than I thought
