They also had depots at Economy Road and New Point works Whapload Road They moved to Nuneaton during the Second World War and never returned.
(Sorry about the punctuation - not mine).
The new manufacture badges are all marked 'Lowestoft', I wonder were there were also 'Oulton Broad' or 'Nuneaton' badges?
Wartime economy production perhaps?
And of course Joe Lucas quietly took control of Rist in 1929 so this could cause some changes in badging .

Doubtful that the change of ownership would affect the badging, as the take-over by Lucas was done secretly and not revealed until many, many years later (I have the date at home), thus they still remained "Rist" horns. Notice one posting refers to no rivet holes in the trumpet, but there were many made and sold that instead had the curved badges rivetted onto the periphery of the horn body - has anyone looked there for a couple of rivet holes?
