Sadly they have followed the general entropy of things and were absorbed into Stanley. Genuine Rabone and Rabone-Chesterman stuff is now only available as 'vintage'. :(

On the bright side, I find I have some 'vintage' tools.
Something every apprentice carried was a 6 inch Rathbone steel ruler and a Zeus book.

A plastic trombone from Aldi in Swanley in 2008. It still works perfectly, but it's locked in my gun safe, I'm only allowed to get it out when I'm home alone for extended periods.
