Guest Keen Nettlefolds of Birmingham - Nettlefords screw box labels, c1953
I just really liked the colour and typefaces of this page from a Nettlefold's screw catalogue of 1953. Along with the 'traditional' round, raied and countersunk heads there is a label for Phillips Recess headed screws. For those of you who didn't have the 'joy' of mental arithmetic in a West Bromwich junior school in the 1960s a 'Gro' is short for a Gross, and that would be 144 screws. GKN's screw and fastenings works was in Smethwick, Staffordshire.
