Hi

It seems They are still out there some where. I picked up my latest project yesterday, Unfortunately it has a bad case of woodworm at the moment but otherwise seems very sound and original. Not sure of the year, but I think it is 1934 or 1935. Hope you like the pictures.

That is fantastic! Amazing how things like this suddenley appear after years in storage, makes you wonder how many more are yet to be discovered!

I think Winchesters had a "cool box" under-floor food storage area arrangement.
I had one that had a metal tray to aid sweeping-out; a sort of crumb tray for shoe swarf. Was that a common feature?

"That`s a wicked van man innit,"as a young man would say. Cool
