I thought it might be a a British casting revamp of some sort.( or dutch).= just the castings.
1) goose neck type mechanics.
2) wood cabinet of a non -goose neck type machine, with castings to match that shape.
3) the improved mills handle of 1938 (?).
4) metal award card, a bit different than what they used.
5) bolts holding the casting on ,newer looking than the rest.
6) reel strips in Silver (1946 / 47 introduction date).
7) yellow painted inside the back door = ?
hand load for the J.P. , a late 1940's feature for mills.
sounds a bit fishy to be a 100 % Mills factory product, since these features related to a goose neck were already gone on the rest of the line.
so a revamp of some sort to keep the old machine alive.... by who ?
I liked it , found it an interesting machine , no issues owning it. And don't recall seeing another one of hand.
any clue who owns i now ?? be nice to get more information of it's insides, ect.
