Way cool. Now why do you call you call them Glascow style? Anything to do with Charlies Rennie McIntosh?

yes, that's my thinking. They have a very strong Mackintosh style about them, but they're not marked so I can only suppose that their design is influneced by the work of 'The Four'. I found one pair of these sold on ebay from Australia. The title of the listing said they were by C.R.M but the auction was so long ago that details have now been removed. I couldn't therefore say for certain that the seller knew they definitely were by C.R.M or whether they were just speculating like I am.
