Are there so few UK buyers these days? Maybe I need to stop the scrap metal collectors when they pass my way next time. I have several travelling arm machines with horns I could throw out.
You may have a long wait before any scrap dealers pass Holy Loch!
I was born in Glasgow, and a regular family day out in my early childhood was Gourock to Dunoon on board a Clyde steamer.

No, it was complete with horn, elbow and handle. The person in China seemed to be bidding on most of the gramophones in the auction (and made me pay more for the one I wanted !).

Nice! These days we have to make do with a modern car ferry. It's not quite the same, is it? Mind you at least they are now finally restoring the original Victorian pier restaurant, cafe and ballroom.

I'm in Dunoon. I'll willingly pick them up, and save you a trip to Bogleha'.
Anything to help a neighbour out.
