I once stupidly put away a tent which had been packed a little damp. Ayear later, on holiday we had the job of sponging off all the mould with this product. It kills all the spores and gets rid of the smell. It was some years ago but I expect they still sell it, what about Milton, do they still make that? It is supposed to kill mould spores isnt it? doesnt bleach do the job just as well, although obviously you wouldnt be able to use it where fabric was involved. Lini x
Now that you have your beautiful Lomand why not just enjoy doing what you can, spend what you can afford and have a very enjoyable learning experience ? As another child of the fifties I have been whisked back in time whilst removing rust, scrubbing tyres etc. It is amazing how satisfying it is. I think we novices would need a lot more experience/knowledge before trying to make anything at this game.
My email is [Log in to view email] I'd love to chat with you, I'm going to see an Ebay pram exactly like the one I am dubious about tomorrow morning, I will have to wait for the auction to run but at least I will have seen it and it is in Farnham, 20 minutes away!It is apparently ready to go bar the mattress! There is another one in Sutton, 30 minutes away, I have emailed them as well. I guess the more you see the better!
Is that the jelly mould and the nut fitting in one piece?

The one jelly mould on my pram isn't fixed to the nut as it turns round separately. Do these just screw directly into the rod?
Another fairly unknown fact is that they used ground cuttle fish bone to smooth down each coat applied to their prams. They put on 11 coats.
I guess it makes an incredibly fine abrasive. Was cuttlefish a commonly used abrasive do you know? Where where they based? Was it a coastal region?
I have some jelly moulds off 1960's Silver Stream. One of them the nut came off the mould but the others are attached I got other ones so you are welcome to these if you want to try them ans see if they fit. I fiited the new ones with a spanner.
Oh, thank you for that, how much do you want for them? Are they the same as the ones on Jackie's photograph?
they look the same as that other ones and only one of them has the separate nut the others are all attached. if you send me your email address I will post them on to you.

You've probably seen that jimjams said she will send me some jelly moulds she has to see if they'll fit. If they don't and you haven't yet put yours on eBay then I'll try them next but please don't wait if you want to put them on eBay. I don't see why I (that is, my husband!) can't make them fit! Thanks.
