Thanks Lew and Gene.
Lew....the family you mention is the Al'Amari, who were in operation (as you say) up until about 1930. Although the date is later, I will have to await a kind translation of the text to be sure that it is in fact Al'Amari.
Gene....Can't at this stage comment on the "wheel" but am awaiting a reply from Steve, so may have further info later. Wall space? What wall space?
Since the quake we have mother in law staying so every spare bit of storage is full. Even have trouble getting to my display cupboard!
