 My husband recenlty brought home what appears to be an old chipper used in chip shops
At the moment it is seized up but my husband intends on trying to restore it

I havent been ableto fnd out anything about them on the internet and wonderd f anyone would have any ideas on vlaue I would say if done up this would be fantastic as a dsplay item in a fish and chip restaurant

Many thanks in advance

Just found out a bit more info

The chipper has the company name DAVEY MACHINES CO and also has LONDON LEEDS on the handle
Also the machne has square nuts which i am led to believe were only used pre world war 2

Thanks again

Fish&Chips ? Yum! Let the yanks keep burgers and stuff, the don't know what REAL fastfood is about - blimey, whole concept is our idea anyway, innit? "Davey" had me instantly thinking of Davey Bros in my good old hometown of Sheffield so I checked that out and then swapped to Leeds. Stuffed that and checked London and guess what? Seems they still exist, try http://www.davey.co.uk/ (http://www.davey.co.uk/) ... with any luck they'll grab it from yer fingers faster than you can say "British Home Stores" or at least may know what thingy needs fixing in your whatzit :)

Me too .

The chippers we're familiar with , here in the states , are like the ones in the movie "Fargo" .
