The Wallace

4/22/2017

0 Comments

 
MFS actively supports and promotes the repair and recycling of floor springs (which is obviously good for the environment) we therefore dedicate this post to Earth Day, April 22nd.

I have been contacted by Phil Hallam , who is a collector of floor springs he informs me. Phil kindly provided the pictures of a floor spring that I have not personally come across before, this being The Wallace. 
As can be seen The Wallace is a single action floor spring manufactured by Showell (Edwin Showell of Birmingham), these particular ones have the beautiful B.M.A (Bronze Metal Antique) finish and appear quite powerful. I will post a little more about these floor springs if and when I can find out more, I do however feel they were a forerunner to the Showell 524/Josiah Parkes Ltd/Union I have mentioned in an earlier blog post (512 double action version).

If anyone has any further information they are willing to share then please get in touch or comment if you prefer.


The pictures below Phil has kindly provided for those interested, thank you.

    As 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.
