1972farming Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 Evening to you all . Can anyone out there help me please ? I can't identify this roller I recently bought . It has no makers name at all and looks different to anything I have ever seen before . Its like an old horse drwn one which has been converted to be pulled by a tractor . But its a proper old job ,not a cobbled together affair . I would think it could have been made by an old English company like Crescent or Charbens for instance but who knows ? Its doing my head in ,not knowing .It only cost a fiver so I don't care if its rare or valuable ,I just wpold like to know more . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udimore Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 I had one excatly the same model, had it for about 10 years and was told by an "expert" it was a Matchbox Lesney or something (never proven, i thought it may have been crescent) so i lost interest then sold it at a toy fair for 20 quid in Rochester which made me suspicious it was worth more, may even be the same one you never know, never seen another one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the same box was the scaledown timber trailer I posted last week . Most items were ?3 ,?5 or ?7 in the box and I bought quite a few .

1972farming Posted December 30, 2005 Author Share Posted December 30, 2005 I have to say, that even I've not seen that before! I've been waiting for you to have a look and was sure you would know . It really has stumped me ,I bought it because it was interesting and relatively cheap . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
