Thank-you Robert. Yes, Ekco's wooden stands were indeed of beech.

I recalled seeing your handle somewhere else, so looked up your previous posts, and have only just seen your response to mine re. developing a list of all the Bakelite Ekcos. My current list does now include the 312 and 313. The year issue is a conundrum - whether to state year of first manufacture, or the year a particular set went on sale? Thus, an AD65 would be dated 1934 under the first scheme, but 1935 under the second, assuming the 1935 season didn't start until 1 January 1935 - which isn't a certainty!

If it's still available, I would very much welcome your list of all the Bakelite Ekcos. Would happily exchange my list of the same, which runs to the end of WWII. Perhaps PM me an email address?

Regards,
Richard
