Paul McCobb Contempri "Gambit" by Jackson Internationale
Here we have what I believe to be a later period pattern post 1964
It's interesting to note that the Salt/Pepper shaker's form has changed here, this rendition is 3-1/4" tall where the original version was 2-3/4", the primary difference being that the top "bulb" of the shaker is now 1/2" higher (the bases remain for all intents and purposes identical). I suspect that this alteration was practical rather than aesthetic.

That's a terrific decoration,
That's a terrific decoration, Jonathan.
Gambit
It's been great learning about all of these McCobb patterns. Thanks for sharing this information, Jonathan.
End of the road
Unfortunately this pattern brings us to the end of the road as far as my research has been able to uncover in one short year. There are still other known patterns out there that have eluded me.
My next post will be a representation of the various Contempri colors (once one or two more pieces come my way) and after that, barring some small miracle, there will be no more. I am glad that you guys have enjoyed the show.

Restaurantware
Of course, there is the Jackson restaurantware to tackle next...
Form Reference
The restaurantware does have a few forms not seen in the Contempri line, like the bullion bowls for instance and the variation on the platters. Guess I'll have to go through and put together as complete a form reference as possibly there as well.
The Jac a Lume patterns were very clearly not designed by McCobb btw.
