A maker’s plate from a Butters Brothers 1-ton crane.
The makers’ plates from an overhead gantry crane made by Babcock & Wilcox at Dalmuir – this crane was installed at B&W’s own works at Renfrew.
This large model is of the North Eastern Marine Engineering Company giant cantilever crane in Wallsend – the model is very detailed, made mostly from etched brass sheet, and apparently was in the company offices for a long time.
