Cheers, thought it might have said Young’s but hard to make out on phone. Don’t imagine they are particularly valuable then to be worth restoring?

Not particularly valuable but always worth restoring.
A tough resto though. Looks pretty corroded but could be fun. Give it some tlc and see what happens.
