Okey, dokey - here's yer photie....
I can't quite remember whether
a)the sides were originally a solid brown colour which is wearing off to show the copper colour underneath or
b) it was always the sort of two-tone finish you see now.
Not bad value at £4 either way.
The knob is quite short, so gives a good, quick shift and is nice and smooth in the palm of your hand (ooer, missus

)
I'm happy enough with it anyway.
