Many of the outfits are in as produced condition. A note from the vendor; I started the collection over 10 years ago. The first few items were acquired by chance, but they encouraged me to research information about the company and its history. The first expanding wall-plugs were patented in 1912 by the Rawlings Brothers in West London, and famously were used to fix electric lights in the British Museum without damaging the walls. The Rawlplug company was established in 1919 and by the early 1920s the company was making many different tools and advertising widely in several magazines and national newspapers. All this encouraged my interest in such an enterprising company; this led to the acquisition of further random items and eventually I deliberately started to try to fill gaps in the collection. As time went on a strong motivation was the knowledge that the collection seemed to be unique, as I don't know of anyone else who has gathered such a large and comprehensive collection of Rawlplug products. The collection includes not just tools, though Rawlplug have made a surprisingly wide range over the years, but it also includes associated documents and promotional items, all of which give a wider view of the company as a whole.
