Nice find! 

Only the 2nd example I have ever seen in a Rubaiyat W. Co hallmarked case.

....and as Joe Walsh once said: 'Welcome to the club'.

I saw this one on the bay. Glad someone here decided to buy it and share it here.

1916 is still up for discussion. Would be great to get more evidence to back this up, other than just the trademark date for Rubaiyat.

Do we think the name is 'Leo Harper" ?
