Robert Belcher Antiques

Robert Belcher Antiques was established in 1984 and is a high-quality retailer of interesting, rare antiques and decorative objects. After forty years of shop keeping and maintaining beautiful showrooms, which have been regularly open six days a week, Robert and Wendy have now taken a slightly different approach to their business. Having sold their retail premises, the antique business is now fully online. The picture framing service has ceased to operate because of moving online.
You can contact Robert and Wendy by email or telephone to discuss items from their extensive catalogue of attractive pieces and make purchases. Customers can rest assured that the long-established dealership is continuing to run in an exceedingly professional way, selling genuine and high-quality items which are guaranteed to please the most discerning collector, decorator or homeowner.
All items will be personally hand packaged to a high standard. Small items are extensively wrapped using the best materials and are often double boxed. Items are then shipped with DHL or Royal Mail fully insured and often with next day delivery. Larger items would be personally delivered or sent with a specialist antique delivery firm, or for outside the U.K, a professional shipping company.
Please enjoy viewing their collection of rare and interesting pieces and have the assurance that Robert and Wendy will do their utmost to make sure your experience is exceptional, as has been recognised by many customers who have bought with confidence regularly over the years.

Description
This remarkable original 1930s Meccano exhibition model would have been professionally handmade for one of the company’s promotions or exhibitions.
It is a detailed, large model of a 1930s off road truck and log trailer.
The vehicle is four wheel drive, each axle is fitted with double wheels for the excessive weight and terrain.
The truck is very finely engineered with working, turning steering and a very complicated arrangement of gears and cogs producing the drive train with drive shafts, diffs and mechanisms working with chains and pulleys.
The model is fitted with an early electric motor, which is still in place but not tested, but originally would have been fully working.
The truck and trailer are very well detailed. They have been constructed from standard pieces of Meccano kit, ingeniously assembled to produce the model.
The model is fitted with a large ballast weight at the rear, giving the vehicle extra traction when used in difficult terrain.
The trailer is also double wheeled and benefits from a rotating turning mechanism at the front. The logs are genuine wood.
