Thread: Safe Plates

I know very little of safe plates but we DO have a for sale section as well as this section. You could post some pictures of the plates in this forum or post and find out what is know about these items and if you like sell them after that.

I, on the other hand, have probably the largest collection of safeplates in the world.
Pictures are vital to say anything but please put a ruler in each picture -one tip is that scanning them gives a remarkably good image on almost all scanners.
Cheers

Hi Tom do you want me to send the scans to you? or put them on the site? If you want me to send the scans direct to the web site How do I do it?

How to upload images into your posts.

Here are the photographs of the Safe Plates I mentioned in an earlier post

The top one is very unusual - I havent seen one with fixings like that before.
I wondered whether it was off a safe or off a display from the period, but the quality is too low for that I would have thought.
As the quality of casting is low I wondered if it was off some sort of knock-off safe, but who would knock-off a Grove?
Old and unusual.

Hi Tom If you are interested in it, for your collection. Do you want to make me an offer for it?

Thanks but, having thought about it, it probably had two lower fixings removed at some time.
Cheers

Hi Tom No problem, but just given it a good examination and there is no signs that it had two more fixings at the bottom.
