Hi Baz, Don;t know if this is too late, but i have recently acquired two sets of these disc bowls. In excellent condition, still in original boxes, with kittys. I'd date them around early 1900s, from the decorative style on the boxes and the date of other items in the collection (croquet, bowls, etc.). They are very popular in Australia, but hard ot find any info about them in the UK. Hope to hear form you, Duncan
