Can anyone help with swan heirloom mystery?

The other day I was looking around ‘Experience Barnsley’ when I was amazed to see a pair of glass swans displayed in a cabinet.

They are almost identical to a pair I have in my possession which once belonged to my grandma, Grace Bramall.

In 1985, my mother, Phyllis Crossland, wrote a biography about her mother, Grace.

She goes into great detail describing grandma’s domestic life at Oxspring, without ever mentioning the swans.

But I remember them being in the old farm house. They were sat on little crochet mats at either end of her bedroom mantelpiece and had probably been there since grandma moved to Coat’s Farm with her husband in 1925.

I was never allowed to touch them, but I loved looking at them. I thought they were beautiful.

The only information I can find about the swans is that they were made by the Wood Brothers, probably in 1910.

I don’t know anything about them – how many were made and how many are still in existence. I would love to know how grandma came to have a pair.

Can anyone give me more information?
