  2. I recently found out this cabinet is of UK manufacture around 1900. The 427 number was just so they kept matching wood tones together.
  3. Read up on the best ways to clean the head.hot soapy water is not ideal nor are solvents or abrasive cleaning agents, I think furniture cleaning oil is the best but do some research first. The chrome...
  4. I've found a number 427 indented into the back of each drawer and also appears in the wood under the lid hinge of the cabinet. Any idea what it means?
  5. Thanks vrobins7 it confused me as I've seen pictures of these cabinets with black metal plates but also the odd one has just wood. The machine I've already dated as I've had it a while, but on another...

  15. Thanks very much Bernadette
  16. I just used machine oil and hot soapy water was all I used to clean the paint work up as for the chromed pieces I took as much of it off the machine that I could remove and soaked them in white vinega...
