I give. Man with spear? Cool Castor

[potterymaker]

Hi There, I have found a lot of info "on" this castor but can't match it with anything. If you turn the knob just to the left in the photos the doors open up to show salt peper etc. The letters "NR" are faint and I almost missed the 955 and somthing else next to it. PATENTED DEC1187 is right up top for everyone to see but no name. Any help would bring may thanks. I spent many Sundays playing with this when grandma wasn't looking.

That photo was working in the preview. I'll try again here. By the way this is 20 inches tall and the salt peper etc are cut glass

Thank You! I never would have found that. Thank You!
And thanks for fixing the photo tag.

PS What do you think the NR and the 955 means?
