Pat,
The Marmet video was so nice to watch and all your photos of the prams Im sure you all had such a good time I envy you no time here were busy doing the hay.
So which one of you Prammies is going to break the news to the Queen that her own baby pram and Edwards were made by Marmet ?
I am surprised that they made Millsons, my 2 Millsons the Prince and the 30s one are nothing like the Marmets in build or quality, the bodies of my 2 are sheathed in aluminium the paintwork clouds on the older one sometimes if it gets to warm.. the paintwork is so shiny ,the chrome is such a better quality, when I stand my 60s Marmet Queen and the Prince side by side its easy to see the difference, I suppose for the clients that bought the Millsons all the best of everything was used.
One thing in favour of my Marmets is the lightness to push , the Millsons need a very robust Nanny to push as they are so heavy , I know as I have used them all for my Grandson for walks.
Regards,
Jackie Moss.

It was quite a revelation and as you say the build is quite different from Marmet to Millsons/LBC but when you consider that the same firms manufacture things such as cereals for all the major supermarkets, or the same drug companies make the same drugs, albeit differently packaged, for different pharmacies, then it is feasible that large pram producers could produce prams for other outlets.
We all know where SilverCross/Wilson prams were made, we know where Marmet prams were made, as with Manton and Osnath etc but does anyone know where Millsons were made? We know where they were sold, but not manufactured! This could be quite a debate!!
