Here’s a photo of a metal plaque attached to an unknown machine made by W. G. Goetz & Sons Ltd. under licence from the Buffalo Forge Company, USA.

The ‘Ltd’ on the plaque indicates a date after April 1939, when W. G. Goetz & Sons Pty. Ltd. became a public company, dropping the ‘Pty.’ from its name, but the plaque may date from 1967 (see comment about flyer below).

If you know what it might have been attached to or have more info, please leave a comment!

A Goetz flyer for Buffalo Forge High Capacity Universal Ironworks model 1/2 UW. It’s not certain if the machine in the flyer was fitted with a metal plaque similar to that shown above.

The year of the flyer is unknown, but as is has postcode with the address, it must be after 1 January 1967 when postcodes were introduced in Australia.
