BMR match vendor identified
BMR match vendor identified
Hi,
I have recently bought this cast iron match vending machine and wondered if anyone had any better pictures of the front pieces that are missing, or a long shot, does anyone have the front pieces? I’ve had a look on the Elephant House website and the pictures they have aren't very clear. Any help is appreciated,
Regards

Well that was a let down, was expecting some kind of killer enamel signage or cast lettering to the front door.

Re: Cast iron match vendor
But it makes the restoration a bit easier...
The first one to appear at the EH had some nice signage and was catalogued as "circa 1900". The streamlined, fairly plain castings indicate a later date. In fact these were made by Brecknell Munro & Rogers, who weren't trading under that name until 1928, so late '20s, early '30s may be more accurate.
I've re-uploaded a larger version of my photo of the green one (sold EH 2015). To see it full scale, click the thumbnail and right click to download the image to your computer.
