Not too sure about ages, but not as old as they look.The timeclock is a sangamo by the looks of it.

I have installed a few of those in my time, but not for a few years now.

am i correct in it being a contactor?

Yes.

Sangamo synchronous. Available in 24hr and 24hr/7 day versions ( 7 day have a small brass wheel under the "dome" to allow days of the week to be omitted.

I would have put at least the contactor circa. `75 m8. Sangamo timers are pretty ageless.

I would date them a bit earlier, around 68-70 A, cos of the colour & style of the contactor and B, the dial face of the Sangamo clock

The contactor is made (or was made) by Crabtree, and were actually very good.

The contacts lifted out in one lump and were easy to replace, Typical British made, well built stuff that was designed to last.......................just like today !
