Thames Trader Original Milk Churns

Dear all,

I am seeking a full, original set of Milk Churns to complete the restoration of my Thames Trader. I have just missed out on a set sold just five days ago. Very disappointing indeed!

If anyone has or knows of a set or sale please let me know.

A. Stanton.
