    My dad found it in the garage (our house is from the 1930's) which my granddad and great granddad tinkered in before him - it's full of junk and old tools etc


    How would I know if it is original?? Or reproduction??

    Bring it into Whyte's and they will tell you quickly enough. I like the idea of it coming from a junk filled garage which your grandad and great grandad tinkered about it - you could have a real find.

    Knowing my dad I'm a bit dubious :pac:

    I know it sounds good but it really could have appeared into the garage anytime from 1936 onwards...

    I'll talk to my dad again does he know anything about it at all.

    Is Whyte's up near the shelbourne??
