An interesting variation of the Houlder Bros. Funnel.
The original design of the Ocean Gas Transport Company was a 2.2m Blue disk with a Silver Gazocean Dolphin breathing a Red flame. The Clerk Maxwell shows another version where the disc has gone and the Dolphin is now Blue with a white flame.
Originally the two marks were shown side by side with the Dolphin forward. When funnels became to narrow the Dolphin was placed above the Cross.
Examples of double funnel marks are quite rare.
