    For Jock...and others!

    Hi Guys, hello Jock!

    In a second hand shop round my corner I just saw this...
    I reacted to the colours thinking it could be Smith ancient but...
    A nice piece...sorry I just got it through the window.

    Thanks Tom.

    It looks like------To my old eyes-----that the yellow lines( vertical and horizontal) are crossing on the blue background and the red(?) are crossing on the green background. If that is right then we are looking at MacLeod of Harris, I think. In which case a previous owner must have had impeccable taste!

    Agreed... MacLeod of Harris (aka MacLeod Hunting) Muted.

    Circa 1965 I had some old luggage in college with side panels that looked just like that.
    I changed my signature. The old one was too ridiculous.

    Jock has it - definitely MacLeod of Harris/Hunting.

    Still not sold...I am tempted.
    Maybe I should buy it for the case JockScot will visit my area to be able to offer an appropriate seat :-)
