There are two men in my life. to one I am a mother, to the other I'm a wife. And I give them both the best. Galaxy if I remember correctly And didn't the Colgate "Ring of Confidence" start around that era?

I agree with Eric - The Magnet Club

Better Now I'm thinking and safer! Although it was ok in the 60's Chocks

Thanks Dave. I see by that picture that the Tompion has a moulded rope frame like most ship badges. So that proves the one I was offered is a fake Chocks
