Glorius was the original Rivendell mixte. Wilbury was to Glorius what Yves Gomes is to Betty Foy. I think the cost of producing the Glorius was prohibitive, which is why they phased it into the Foy. I recall several Reader and catalog comments about the insanely tricky amount of work that went into painting the intricate lugs on the Glorius/Wilbury. I think they were produced ~2005 - 2007.
