[QUOTE="OTB Records, post: 310692, member: 6162"] Sorry - there seems to be a misunderstanding. The thread on Rebelscum was started by me. This is where the Cliro connection came from. The model I have is definitely connected with the Cliro bubble bath container but it does seem to have had a life before this which is what I am now trying to uncover. The original paperwork that came with the model stated it was used in the production process of making the first Star Wars film. I have also spoken to people connected with Cliro and their merchants and they have told me that it originally came from America and then ended up with Cliro. From all the info I have at the moment it seems likely that this was made in America for use in some way with the production of Star Wars Episode IV back in the 1970s. It then found its way over to the UK and in particular Cliro Perfumeries where it might have been used as a master to form their bubble bath container from. There are subtle differences in the model I own and the final Cliro bubble bath container which makes me think that this isn't a Cliro production model. [/QUOTE]
