    Hi, yes, this was the WORST ornament (as it was known), to have to dust when we were children. Not one of my siblings or myself wanted to be the one who ended up dusting it, when we were all helping with the chores. Every trick was pulled to avoid it. I really didn't mind, as being the youngest, I definitely polished it the most.
    I realised how much I thought of it, when my Dad said those words to me "You can sell this too" when he was having a clear out "NOOOOOOOOoooooooo ", I gave out a cry. "I remember dusting that all the time, when I was little". He told me to keep it if I wanted. So I've come a full circle from over fifty years ago...…….I'm still the main duster!
    I only knew a Neighbour gave this to my Dad, as a gift ,many years ago.....He was a Milkman, so no clues there!
