    Made by Hatch Brothers of Callington, Cornwall, circa 1950’s. Manufacturing rights later acquired by Wagstaff and Gladwell Ltd and sold as the WAGE, (information taken from 70 Years of Garden Machinery by Brian Bell).

    I’ve had a look for any adverts relating to the trac-grip and the only ones for Hatch Bros are for their poultry sheds etc.

    However around the 1950’s their adverts have their full address as Station Road Appliance Works, Kelly Bray, Callington, Cornwall, which may help if anyone does any research.
