I must confess I may have made a mistake with identifying what I thought was a Smith's in an earlier blog post, it may in fact be a Cartland adjustable like the one below. In the next blog post I will identify what i believe now is a true Smith's.

Merry Christmas Jess, your right it is often very difficult to identify some models. The floor springs I most often come across with the horseshoe shape springs are the Brittanic sometimes called a Leader, Leo or Forward. Smaller than this is the Cartlands adjustable (Newman's were still producing this model as late as the 1950's with its name changed to just a series of numbers, I will find out what those numbers are in the future) then the true Smith's which I have yet to show (Smallest springs of the three). For anyone reading this I will in the New Year have spring sets for the Cartlands and the Smith's. I am pleased you like the idea of the tape, I will continue to show models with it in the shot from now on.

AuthorAs there is so little information out there with regard to door closers, especially vintage and antique model floor springs, I thought I would start this blog. Archives
