Hi Joe.Not sure if this helps, but our roller aveling 10824 was owned originally by the Jarrow corporation and ( smokey ) as the roller is called still carries the plates today.As you are probably aware newcastle upon tyne was covered or included the Jarrow corporation.If you want any pictures let me know, Regards Chris..
