    Hi

    You could also send the photo to the website they still make furniture today

    http://www.robertthompsons.co.uk/

    IF it is real then it is possible an old carving .....

    ebay usually has some examples of mousmans work....

    Good luck

    I was there recently (popped in to the Visitor's Centre and Showroom while walking the Cleveland Way seeing as we were staying there).

    They sell an ashtray almost identical to that one in the Visitor's Centre shop today. It looks very, very similar, the only thing being that the mouse's head looks a little different to what I remember. I don't recall really noticing the eyes as much as on that example.

    There are dozens of oak furniture makers in that general area that have been started up by ex-employees of Robert Thopson's. Maybe it came from one of them? Alternatively maybe the design has just evolved a bit over the years.
