Sounds like you have enough there to start a couple of restorations!

Ross & Group, In my opinion the ID or makers plates were made out of brass with a very thin nickel plating & the lettering is black. In many cases the thin nickel plating is long gone, but it was there. This also applies to the patten plate, "Made in England" plate, & the body plate. I offer a service of restoring the original plates if they are restorable. Contact me off list if interested. Craig Seabrook Whitworth Shop Novelty, Ohio
