OT patent info sought

Apr 09, 2007 3 Replies

Hi,



I'm interested in finding the details of a UK patent that was possibly granted/applied for around 1922. UK patent office search says it does not exist but I expect that this is due to age that is is not on their data base.



Does anyone have favoured site for rooting out older patent info please?



The number is 199302 and has nought to do with model engineering but is stamped on the bottom of a sink that I'm putting into the workshop. I'm just curious about what aspect of a sink would be patentable from around then.



TIA



Bob
