JACK FELL's Blog
In my move from Willenhall to pastures new in Shropshire the early history of much of IWM (Inland Waterways Models) and The Boatmans Cabin Company is being dumped. Its sad as if there was somewhere who could look at it properly then some may be conserved. Its sad to look at the foundry invoices, the polishers invoices etc and know that world is gone. It makes me realize how much skill we have now lost forever. During the 1980's and 1990s our combined operations produced massive amounts of chandlery and canal giftware on a huge scale. Nothing today compares to the boom time we were in then. Our canal ware items range wasnt just sellling in tens and twenties but in tens of thousands of pieces as we serviced export markets as far away as Israel and South Africa! Over 400 large scale models were built for private and corporate customers, many are to be seen still at Stoke Bruerne. Our brassware was on virtually all boats of the period and we sold to around 86% of the available marine market with other wholesalers working too. It was a wonderful time of manufacturing and producing items hard to get. !978 - 1986 I worked with my ex as sole propietor, 1987 saw the formation of the Ltd company, and there there was the birth of the "Premiere" stove and the the re emergence of the Ruston YD2 as the CD2 engine. Below are three gems of those days, Bococks were on their last legs and hardly producing any amount of galvanised ware, Matty's were starting to let boats go and Keays were having a "re birth",
