Wish I had a drawer just for (/full of) framebacks... to be honest, I've only got the Heljestrand and one Anton Berg.

This is my other set of Mappin & Webbs

The Thomas Tuners,

And these are the Swedish Framebacks.

Thanks Phrank,

Yes, 2 sets of MW in Ivory now. Plus have a beautiful set of CV Heljestrand Framebacks in Ivory plus a set of Thomas Turner also in Ivory... so I have a non-leap year set for...

Now have 4 x 7 day sets... only 48 to go lol.

Thanks again Phrank... I only paid approx 600 for this set :) I suspect that may be the best 600 I have spent :)

Does anyone know what these scales are made of? I haven't received them yet (only just purchased), but even if I had them in my hands I still wouldn't know. Plastic/celluloid? And does anyone know...
