Gold plated windlass

[Laurence Hogg]

In Pete Harrisons picture the top one on a chain is a hot brass stamped mini from a Dudley stampers sold as a gift widely on the waterways by CWS and its predecessors, still available today.

The lower one is almost certainly one of my "Boatmans Cabin Co" GU windlass in LG2 gunmetal, The Selwyn Jordan mini shown in the picture by Max's son, were made in low quantities and these are rare.

To my eye the full size one looks bent!

 

At £60 with only about 6 minutes to run. Don't think I'll be bothering!

So are there collectors of these items, also have two full size windlasses looking for a good home need to photograph (not brass)
