Unknown Crown

[Hadoque]

It is definately a Playmbil crown; the very first "male" type to be more precise.
(sets 3130, 3131, 3138, 3261-v1 and 3331-v1 from 1974-1975)

In 1976 the shape was changed; it then included in the middle the bulbous part of the 1st knight-helmet. (see f.e. 3331-v2)

Finally remembered to take a pic when I was at home:



The first two crowns are from a kid or the treasure chalice.. Then that's the one you have (I think), ancient, and a few more ancient ones (and a helmet) in several degrees of losing their shine..

Thank you for all the suggestions.
It is very like the third one from the left - with six points, but the colour is so even that it is almost as though it is meant to be like that.  It is a different colour from the ones that have the silver coming off - more of a pinkish beige really - I'll see if I can find anything of the same colour to compare it with.
