Good luck

Yes, they moved the business to Northern Ireland sometime around 1960. The earlier pre Ireland X246A Tillies are considered to be of better quality , The 246 B models were changed around by the accountants. The 1946 to 50 models are highly sought after, all brass construction.

I will PM you Paul.
