Well Hello That solid bronze fascia plate is heavy which does come off by the way Tom ,
This I expect you know, The one you show is of course a Chatwood Rotary (which goes with saying really) probably made in about the early 1930s possibly just before, the lock to open the trap is in the bottom right hand corner. One I remember has a yale spring bolt fitted and yes there are still some in sevice today though the use of the bank wallet deposit service has fallen into decline due to security companies calling at the retail shops.
As to other companies making a rotary trap both Chubb and Ratner have Im not sure if Tann ever produced one, I have probably forgotten; no doubt someone will correct me!
