One of these is ex Brenner-1914 ANS as AW630a, Brand. Lohr owned 2 of these.

A single example in aluminum J632A/P703 from the Farouk collection, part of lot 1816 as AW678A, is actually referring to the piece described as "one of regular issue" ie
J636/P708 and should be delisted.

Note: It is likely that the copper pattern listed as AW619 is a misdescription of this design.
