I have one of these, mine is 5772/40 (V). The prime manufacturer was Henry Hughes & Son but the V indicates that it was made by the Venner Timeswitch company which ran a shadow factory. (just as well, as far as I remember Henry Hughes was bombed.) These are so nice to hold by the grips and all the controls are at your fingertips. As with most of these, no bubble in mine. There is lots of sites on the internet, not terribly valuable in cash terms though.
