This high-tail cock would stand little chance of winning in an American 

 show room. However he won 1st medal challenge cup, and 3 specials at the 

 Grand International Show London, England, in 191 1 and several other prizes; 

 he was pictured in the annual club book. This bird was raised by Wm. E. 

 Barber, Flixton, Manchester, one of the leading Ancona breeders of England. 

 The English Anconas are heavily mottled, and generally carry high tails.
