- February 09, 2014, 04:42:19 PMHere are a couple of pieces of memorabilia. Not sure if the engineering drawing is the same as the ones on The Antiques Road Show you mentioned in a previous thread. I bought this one from a guy round the corner in Timperley. The letter I got from eBay.

- February 03, 2014, 05:42:15 PMHi Nick, Thanks for sharing pictures of the nameplates with us.
Is this the full extent of the collection, or are there more?
I think the plate mentioning the works at Broadheath might be quite an old one. Describing the same factory as "Altringham" seems to have been more common.

- February 03, 2014, 02:10:06 PMHello my name is Nick Stott and my father George Stott was a Linotype erecting fitter at Altrincham for many years. He passed away in 2005 and I have since collected some Linotype machine name plates.
These may be of interest to Metaltype members.
Regards Nick
