I'm at work so can't do this for you, but if you right-click on the image in CHROME you can search for the image on the internet and see
if there's anything else like it out there.

Brilliant! I found it in a site called locostbuilders - nothing elae though 
You'd be surprised how quickly the sales people at B&Q try and assist you after ignoring you for the past 15 minutes when you try and start a
chainsaw

how about taking it to your local auction house and seeing if its worth anything?
they might be a bit more impartial than a dealer?

Thanks for replies. Tried chrome as suggested and nothing came up.
We did take to a valuation day that you see advertised now and then in local libraries etc but they were useless and didn't seem interested.
I was wondering what sort of place to take it to since we had no experience before. Will see if I can find a local auction house. Any other places do
valuations or give info preferably in northwest
Cheers

Knowing my luck it won't be worth anything but thought I would try since it's old. 😜
