The Richard wheatley Museum
Boxes with 12 - 49 clips
By 1966 the Wheatley Sales Code had been altered by adding the length of the box and its depth/ e.g. F266/6/1 for the 1 inch box. Some of the codes are still unknown to me. Items marked * are photographed. Boxes marked "A" are still available from Richard Wheatley
