Thanks for the video Clive. I didn't know that mine was nickel silver or that it was quite that old. Feeling pretty lucky to have one in nice condition in the original sales carton fron Westley Richards. Maybe someday I'll find another to make a pair. LOL

Mine has only a wheatley silmalloy metal engraving on it. But it has a single page/divider. And has more storge for flies. It's like a single page book. Pretty neat

I do have a serious question about these boxes. The early ones you showed are Japanned (black). What are they made of? Steel? You showed the shiny aluminum one.. are the black ones aluminum Japanned? Or are they made of brass?
@jbranstetter046 ай бұрын
The most fascinating thing in this video is how the British pronounce aluminum at 6:47 in the video.
@jbranstetter046 ай бұрын
If you look very carefully, you will see that there is no logo. Perhaps even use a magnifying glass and look very carefully. After you have looked everywhere, very carefully, and you see no logo, then you will have determined that there is no logo. And of this we can be sure, that there is no logo.

I've also found another box that appears brownish on the outside. It's a bit rough though. I thought it may be a brown japanned box. It has sideways Wheatly logo on one end, but no other marks. 50 clips one side. 35 clips on the other side. Seems a heavy box compared to others I have had.
