Very very nice:2tsup:!

Do you have a use for it?

Is the top roll half way between the 2 bottom rolls (pyramid) or more toward one of the front or rear bottom rolls (pinch)?

I do have a use for it as i too am a plumber 2nd generation
the top front roll can be adjusted to suite material the rear roller can be adjusted from level with the top to the bottom I spent quite a few hours cleaning up & painting it's good as new I would love to know who made it ( no markings at all ) I made a few flue pipes & other stuff as well on it when I started work with Dad :U

Have a good look over it as it should have some form of ID cast into the frame somewhere. The we can back track it and add to its history.

Thanks Hughie I have looked all over this roller the only thing I found are two small rivets or pins that I think may have held a name plate.
