unknown metal plough

[OM99]

I have juts got this from ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291959575289? ... EBIDX%3AIT

anyone would have any idea what brand is it? doesn't look like anything i have seen before for the £11 i paid i thought i can hardly go wrong. It does feel nice and heavy. The cutters do feel ok, haven't tried to sharpen them yet.

Thanks

Oli

That's a new one on me but it looks like a decent user. Good value whether it was £11 or £16.
I'd guess at the late 50s or early 60s. Maybe not British made, based on it not showing up before.

... based on it not showing up before.

Well, you say that ...

I don't know where Vann's example was found.

Massey Ferguson, perhaps.. :mrgreen:

I don't know where Vann's example was found.

It was listed on Trademe (NZ's version of eBay). It looks like even boat-anchor expert Alf couldn't identify it at the time.

So we're no wiser.

Cheers, Vann.

Thank you for trying , BugBear wasn't impressed with it though, in my case it will do nicely until i get a record or stanley.

Context is all - I have a Record #043, #044, #405 and a Stanley #50. I'm not short of options.

Are the cutters metric or imperial sizes? - might be a clue as to origin

 

[OM99]

will measure them.

 

[OM99]

they are imperial cutters, however they could be from any record/stanley set though.

the smallest is 1/8th and the biggest is 5/8th , as well as the record 043 i got from Scouse i am covered for a while.
