    This still has its original box and was made by Houghton and Butcher in England. I am not sure how to work out which meodel this is as there seem to be so many. I am not quite sure on the age but it must be vintage.

      It is an Ensign J-B model as noted on the box ... J-B stands for "Junior Box". It dates to around 1932 (or so).
