Members Martyn Posted April 8, 2016 Author Members Report Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) Do you have some pictures of your crew punchers? I'd like to compare. "And I'm uncertain about the plough. It might as well be George Barnsley or H Brindley. Or again some other company that had the tool making capabilities." I think certainty is impossible with an unbranded tool, just balance of probabilities. If it's one of thiose others, they would have to be making 'exact' replicas of the Dixon tool. Did they do that? Wouldn't they make to their own patterns rather than make 'fake' Dixons? Here's another view of the plough for you to compare - it's a 5" BTW. This is from the Dixons catalogue... If my plough isn't a Dixons, it's a perfectly exact replica isn't it? Edited April 8, 2016 by Martyn Quote
Members cjmt Posted April 8, 2016 Members Report Posted April 8, 2016 Have to say they look exactly like Dixons to me. The modern crew punches they made had a simplified version of this design, but the old ones look precisely like this. Quote
Members William Bloke Posted April 8, 2016 Members Report Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) I'm sure the plough gauge is Dixon's. I have an absolutely identical one of a similar vintage marked Dixon. No idea on the punch though. Edited April 8, 2016 by William Bloke Quote
