Dave Armstrong Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I have a Buffalo Springfield Roller . Built 1938/9 . I suspect it may have came to England to help with the war effort rolling runways etc . Any thoughts on how I might track down it’s history ? I’m posting a few photos . I have circled some symbols and numbers stamped into the I D plate on it . Would anyone know if they are military? Thanks in advance !!

garys39 Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Is the stamped mark that of the "Ministry of Supply" ? Regards Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 It looks like an Inspector's stamp and having a crown on it, could well have been supplied Lend Lease to Britain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wally dugan Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 THE BUFFALO- SPRINGFIELD ROLLER COMPANY IS NOW PART OF BOMAG USA might be worth a e-mail with details to see if they have a archive that may have records Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Armstrong Posted April 13, 2020 Author Share Posted April 13, 2020 I will drop them an email . Any reference sources available to track down the true origin of the symbols stamped into the I D badge ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave, What appears to be a crown on the inspector's stamp, looks very much like a Danish crown symbol. It would be interesting if there are any factory records around that show where it was originally supplied to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
