Newcomer to site - need advice - Rolling Mill

[Willem]

I am a goldsmith from South Africa and I have my own manufacturing business. Recently I was given a old roller because I like to restore old toold..
I have attached 2 photos of a rolling mill that was given to me in poor condidtion. I have cleaned it up but some parts are missing and there are no manufacturing marks on the roller. If anyone has any information on this particular roller please let me know.

Hello Willem,
I do not know the make of the rolling mill, but it looks similar to the old mills we had at my old workshop back in the 1960s when I was an apprentice. I found this old photo in my collection and it shows the rolling mills complete. They are very similar to the parts you have and picture may be of use to you if you are rebuilding. It may be worth your while contacting Durston here in the UK as they are the best makers of rolling Mills here in the UK.

Thanks James for the pic has been a great help. But looks like the gears will be a challenge because they are all missing
