I have an old cabinet (?radio or grammaphone)made by ricketts and thorpe. I am trying to date it but have been unable to find any sites that can help me. Does anyone know where I might go?
thanks
Sam

G'day Sam,

If you are able to e-mail me a photo I will include it in your post. This will make identification easier. Ricketts and Thorpe made cabinets for quite a few brands. My e-mail address is on my profile page - click my username at the left to go there.
