Question Old style telephone box
My Dad has got a GPO old style telephone box in his garden and was thinking of selling it.

Has anyone got a clue what it is worth?

Thanks in advance, Phill

Can you tell me if it says either 'Lion Foundry' or 'Carron Works' on one side near the bottom ?

Just spoke to my step mum and she reckons it says "Lion Foundry" she thinks. My Dad will have a look when he gets home later....

So roughly what is it worth?

Do they come to pieces to move?? It's bloody heavy
