    Alright, I really messed up some of the nomenclature on this post and might have to restart it but here is what I am looking for;
    Manufacturer marks on cups
    Date on cup?
    Any other marks on cups
    Manufacturer marks on bases
    Dates on bases
    Any other marks on bases
    From the research I have done these are all the manufacturer marks I am aware of;
    RFI
    S&B
    SA
    Bourn Brook
    Farmers
    HL-(possible refurb or other marks, as it was seen on an S&B base)
    SIR
    Now these are the contractors I could find for the cups in reading material;
    Adams Bros. & Burnley-wwii
    Lightfoot refrigeration-wwii
    Lines Bros ltd-unknown
    Metro Gas Co. (Australiaicon)-unknown
    National projectile factory-wwi
    Components Ltd-wwi
    S&B-wwi
    Bowden wire Ltd-wwi
    W.Ward & co Ltd-wwi
    There are also 4 more WWI contractors not listed, and possible others for wwii, including some of the WWI contractors. It is also possible some of those manufacturer only made components, it's all a little iffy.
    Also do y'all think I should restart the thread so it's more clear what info I want and what I know?
