78 (Later Series) TWO SHAPES (?)
During the Early Series period it was common for numbers to be re-allocated to a second shape, but here is the only known example of a Later Series number being listed against two different shapes. The first shape - an egg cup - is crossed out, and must have been quickly surperseded. Perhaps it was just an error that never did go into numbered production.
78 (Later Series) Egg cup with wide base
This shape is rare. There is no recorded example.
Does the shape appear in other series? No - (none recorded in image database).
Height; from shape book, about 10 cm.
78 (Later Series) Coloured shaving insert (or jelly mould!)
This shape is rare. There is no recorded example.
Does the shape appear in other series? No, not in other series (none recorded) but it appears to be the same shape as
Later Series 66.
Height; from shape book, about 6 cm.
Shape book 'B', seen here, shows both shapes but with the first crossed out.
Shape book 'A' however, which is a slightly later version and is generally just copied straight from book 'B', doesn't show the egg cup at all.
It also names another use for this versatile second object, naming it "Coloured shaving insert or Jelly mould".
