******HELP NEEDED*******

Post by Barry Trotter »

I know everyone has a lot more to worry about at this time but I am looking for some help. I am restoring an old cast iron stamp machine,Some may remember them on the side of pillar boxes in the sixties and before. They one I have is a double machine and I only have the mechanism part for one side. I also require one of the little brass hood and window that was on the front at the top. I know some DO's have the remants of these machines on outside walls and if anyone knows of one and,with their doms permission could remove the parts I require for my project I would be grateful,obviously I would pay for any cost incurred. thanks Barry.
If anyone needs any further info on the type of machine or pictures pm me. thanks again Barry.

I think the plate you are talking about at the top was 'Enamel' & possibly worth a few quid ?? - check ebay is your best bet ??

the window holder was brass,like a little canopy,I think it was more for show than carrying out any real function. The little window in the canopy was glass. Thanks for the advice. I have been scouting ebay for the last few years but one of these have never came up.
