Clackmannan 1875

DRLC 21/03/89 AW
Found Bonnyside, Bonnybridge
11″ square base. 7″ high at either shoulder and 9″ high in centre.
I believe DRLC stands for Dyson Refractories Limited Company (although Company Limited is the normal arrangement)- Dyson owned the site where the was found (East works) and as such I believe this was made in Bonnybridge. Dyson were still producing on 21/03/1989.
As yet I do not know what the AW stands for unless it was the customers initials or indeed the individual who moulded the special.
