But I only know (okay, I'm guessing) half of the story.

The one on the far left with the yellow inside is from the 'Elegance' range by Hornsea/John Clappison circa 1955 (remodelled in 1960).

I'm learning I guessed the Hornsea one was the odd one out before sneaking a look at Pip's reply, and 'thought' it may be Hornsea. So something is sinking in .

Yippee, I was right about the bit that I did know (which one was different). It was the stripes. Too straight and no yellow!

Spotted it was the one on the left, but did not know it was Hornsea, but have taken note. Stripes gave it away as already mentioned, too straight!
I am another learning so much from this forum, it's great.

Like the wallpaper BTW
