definately, drake and fletcher. after drake and muirhead, aprox 1890, and before rhey were a limited company in 1922.

charlie moore’s the mann for monro tillers, may also be able to help you date it too.

andy you beat me to it!!, thats twice this week. hope you had a good journey home

had a brass lance in the collection for years and never able to identify itt, the lance with this one is a ten foot 2 part affair, and matches all bar size, the one ive had for years, coincidence or fate!

will be along as a spectator on sunday, can someone pm me the address and/or postcode.

did see that, when it was available, but aquired a few things lately, so budget not up to it. but have aquired a drake and fletcher hop sprayer though, picking it up on sunday. glad its gone to a good home.

photo’s as promised

have this morning just aquired a cooper pegler syringe style sprayer, with brass name plate, it is of an interesting, probably unique, design. photos to follow when i find the right lead.

i havent got any in the 50 or so i’ve got, but probably half are un marked and not as yet attributable to a manufacturer. have no recolection of seeing any paperwork for a syringe by them either

not yet, but pelnty of time yet !!!. not finished mr wallingfields new brewery building yet.

got it loaded in the van. identification plate is a george momro one bearing model no, A5D, and number 0323.this as usual dosent relate to the simar records though. The nose cone has had an exstensive rework, as id plate has been re riveted and its been rebuilt with gutter bolts. The paper work with it suggests its been built up from 3 machines…[Read more]

i think your right, but wasn’t certain, won’t know for certain till i pick it up tommorrow. thought it was a much cheaper option than re fabricating the tin work for the other 3 i have!

paul, will probably be quicker to take some more when i manage to escape from the clutches of mr wallingfield.

hi andy, glad you didn’t!! sorry to disapoint, been the first one i’ve seen with all the tin work.

sadly paul theres always room for just one more simar! think thats 10 now! had multi gardener running, but photos are on the dead lap top. have recovered the hard drive, and awaiting brother recovering the important stuff!
