No works of this nature where I bought them. The people selling said it had been the property of their father, so, but what location was not mentioned. They put a high value on these;  2 boxes=50pence.

Yes that's what I am thinking, I know they used to (they may still) have a large Engineering works at Derby in the UK.

No idea what they may be making but before reading the earlier replies I also thought WW2 era, possibly manufacturing something for the war effort.

Another great find Youngtug! (did you get any others?  ;))
