1954 - 1958 Bialaddin 310

Here's my recently acquired Bialaddin 310... All it needed was a clean up, a wax polish and a new set of washers...

Sadly I don't have the original glass.

 

A good find and you may come across the proper glass sometime, Jeff.

 

This is my favourite Bialaddin. Can't really say why except the shape pleases me. Nice find ::Neil::

 

I sort of feel the same about them Neil...

 

I am the Lucky owner of this type too and find it as a very stylish workhorse.
Mine was completely ruined in the paint and I have to repaint it.
When thinking through the paintjob to come, I cant live with the fact that the plant originally painted the lot green and I simply wont do that - painting all those nice brass-knobs green. It is my only thing against it. The rest is .

I think I know what ya mean, I also like this ones proportions . . . . I'm just to start looking for one . . . .

John Cooper Clark?

 

Who be he then David, do tell ?

 

Unless I missed something really obvious, my best guess at the person who wrote the words you quoted above. He's a performance poet born in Salford in 1949...

 

I'll Google this fellow for more info there (but for now) it's time to roll out the barrel, with my new shoes on & flip the decks over to Zager & Evans's classic, In the Year 25 25 . . . .

a great tune is that

 

It took me ages to find one then two turned up in quick succession..

 

That would be Dr John Cooper Clarke, David?

 

So it would seem - he was awarded an honorary doctorate by the University of Salford in 2013 (it says here...)

I'm not particularly a fan of his but he does have a way with words that I find amusing at times.
