question about roydon harvest
Hi all
First time poster as I have only recently discovered this fascinating site. I have recently come across over 100 pieces of roydon harvest. Any information about this make would be welcome, but specifically I would like to know why the marking on some is in gold and some in black?
Thanks

Re: question about roydon harvest
Welcome to the Forum copasetic64 
That's a large quantity to come across woooo!
Roydon Harvest was produced in the 1960's and was exclusive to McKenzies.
Val Monk says that the Roydon brand name came from the two McKenzie brothers ... Roy and Don.
Gold backstamps were common in the 1950's and 1960's then after that were hardly used. Perhaps your pieces cover an extended time frame, as this was a very popular pattern?

Re: question about roydon harvest
Just had a look at some Crown Lynn info that I have and found that this pattern was exported to the Arabian Gulf and to South Africa .... very interesting!

Absolutely!
Would just like to add that Crown Lynn exported popular patterns to many countries around the world.

You are a gold mine of information Ev!
I have some pieces of Roydon Harvest as well. It is always nice to learn something about the different designs.
