Van of Gabriel & Co. Ltd.

I am not sure of the make or model but I thought somebody might like to see the van used by Gabriel & Co. Ltd. before the Second World War. I can see a box for Kellogg's Corn Flakes in the back - how's that for detail.

I knew this foundry when I worked in the foundry chemical industry, and my dad installed a new induction furnace at their A-B Row premises in the 1970's if I recall correctly. They moved to Tyseley, and later to Smethwick. They went into administration a few years ago and were looking for a buyer, but I don't know if they found one. I do remember the Irish foundry manager, a real character and a good laugh. His first name was Dave, I think, but can't remember his surname.

The van looks a possible candidate for the Morris Commercial thread maybe?
