That will be the third in as many weeks for sale here in UK.

This was the second one & was a much better B - I - N :wink:

Yours Len, looks like a "Union" or maybe "Hamilton" brand type whereas the one I pointed out appears to be a McAleer version. Did you buy your example? Regards Cliff.

May be a Union ? It is unmarked, both hinges have 33 segments, the tray has one oiler hole.

The tray handle looks like a McAleer with the pointed ends ?

Plus a little bling :lol: ' P J ' or ' J P ' picked out the corners, handles, hasp & staple details.

A few dings but very sound, I will leave the ' old style ' hasp & staple, lightly clean up the exterior, then apply a mist coat.
