Hi Jonty C,
Many thanks for the appraisal. It's great to know more about the maker, that's very interesting it's Austrian, linked to Ostersetzer & Cie in Vienna. I think we'll keep it as an heirloom, an iconic 1960's design, the craftmanship and detailing are great, I love the little diver on the back.
Many thanks for your research and valuation.
With Kind Regards,
Caitriona
