E. COLE WALLBOX
 
This is a rare wooden 'Ludlow' style box that I recently acquired. The manufacturer was later taken-over by Ludlow.
 
The box came from Poolstock PO, near Widnes and had been out of the wall for over 30 years.
 
It still has the old wallpaper on the back of it from when it was in use!

 

 

This is a close up fo the postng aperture of the new wooden box showing why it is a rare one.

The normal type can be seen on top of it so it is a 'new' old one!
