Please assist with the age of these two Robinson & Son machines.
Both machines are T.Robinson & Son manufactured, I have been unable to find any info on the internet despite looking at a number sites about these machines. Can anyone please supply the ages and perhaps any information about them?
Please see attached photos.

Even though Robinson made good machines, there's not the same fanbase as for Wadkin, and therefore a lot less information available on Robinson machines. I suspect the dating information Matty provided is going to be the nearest you'll get (edit: I see there's some catalogue information up on OWWM too).

Robinson did make very good quality machines but for the most part their market/range of machines was not totally in direct competition with Wadkin and I believe Wadkin's were cheaper so they sold more.
