If I was building a replica of this.....I'd be finished by now!

Must admit, I do REALLY like the wheels. Made in 1890s, Melbourne, so the ebay listing says.

As with the lack of images Australian made 25pr, my online search for images of the correct illuminating apparatus box has had very little success. The only thing less productive that the photo search is my efforts to locate/purchase the actual box itself.

It is looking very likely that I will need to manufacture one of those boxes from scratch, or ideally, heavily modify another type of box around the same size.

Some time ago, a member (sorry, I forget who) posted several photos of the box, but I will need as many as I can possibly find, and box dimensions too. If anyone has photos showing ANY details of the box, or its measurements, I would be most grateful to see them!

My shield brackets must be a couple of days away from arrival, because I have been following the parcel tracking.

Default To our British Allies.

My thoughts are with our British friends and allies.

Niels,

HELL YES! Only just saw your post now. Hope you didn't think I was ignoring you.
Have emailed seller, but suspect they may be sold now, at that price.
Do i understand he wanted that price for ALL the items? Iehova!

Will let you know if i do any good there. Shipping may be a crippling price though.

ARRRGGGGGGHHH!

The parts were sold last week. Possibly 30 seconds after they were advertised, I suspect.
Still, thanks for your help Niels. My lack of speed has done me in again.
