[Mccoypottery-talk] Hull LRRH CJ

[~barb]

This doesn't answer your question -- but here is a copy of the LRRH patent.

What I was told about Regal vs Hull was a little different. The dealer 
referenced here has one of  the largest LRRH collections in the US. If not 
the largest, it's pretty darn close. He has also been a dealer in pottery, 
etc. for many years.
