The Lardy of All Lardys

Thanks beach and broom - your observations make me think this set is consigned back to the Lardy’esque bucket. I think this may be further confirmed by the photos below which show the wood difference between this and the Dogface (which came in a box with a faded Made in France stamp on the base). I still love these and am happy to return to my original thinking ….and the mystery of their manufacture remains. Thanks again for raising the questions. And apologies to all for temporarily hijacking the thread! Learning, still learning …

and the dog face

Hey team of good-hearted sleuths. I found another Lardy’ish set. Any luck this time? As usual - thoughts appreciated.

That one's a Lardy for sure, @Powderdigit. 1970s-80s? The label is a Lardy label as well.

@Powderdigit Nice cedar box with it too.
