I would imagine these came home after a Grand Tour. The daughter (in her 80\'s) said her parents bought them at sale at Butterfields or some sale in the 1960\'s and the number in wax pen on the reverse of one I believe to be a lot number. She remembered them being a point of marital contention because of the cost. But no documentation.
