Okay........I've wanted a Wills's Honey Cut Shag for awhile, and I know of at least 5 out there, but could this Wills's Anchor be even more rare?

I have only ever have seen one, and its been heavily restored.

I've heard rumours of a Wills's Flag in the 18 X 36 Slimline, but I've never seen one.

Is this Anchor the rarest of the Wills's Slimline Series?

Anchor sign must be 1 of the rarest , recall seeing another (or this same 1) many years ago which needed work .. cosmetically not the nicest , would much rather a RCV with packet and that lovely writing. I really don’t think a slimline flag  exists ... .. someone please prove me wrong

 I wonder if the Slimline version would have more closely resembled this stunning example. Maybe it had delicte litography which could have been overcleaned?

Thoughts?

The more I look at it, the more I feel it woudl have looked like this. Too bad there weren't any other examples to see.
