Yes it certainly seems like a waste not to have made a run of them after having the castings made. My clown head Bolland 'Bloody Tower' has a cast castle front and battlements which seems to have been a one off (as the other Bloody Tower in the wide case version, the castings are different).

Following on from my recent contact and fascinating conversation with Arthur Bolland, I can confirm that Arthur has confirmed, following seeing the photographs, that the Wishiwell is indeed his Father's work.
When I asked Arthur about the mystery of the similar and unusual 4 pointed stars decorating both my Love Test and sweetmeat's Wishiwell, Arthur knew straight away and said his Father always drew stars like that with 4 instead of 5 points!
