Description

Oxford Diecast Diamond T Ballast Edward BeckThe Diamond T shown here as a ballast truck for a well known but long gone family owned company Edward Beck Ltd of Stockport. Dating back to the early 1940s, the Diamond T was an American vehicle manufactured by the Diamond T Company in Chicago. Its heavy duty capabilities made it particularly ideal for military use although it was a natural choice in civilian life where it was most suitable for operating on rugged terrain and carrying heavy loads.

The Diamond T shown here as a ballast truck for a well-known but long gone family owned company Edward Beck Ltd of Stockport.  Dating back to the early 1940s, the Diamond T was an American vehicle manufactured by the Diamond T Company in Chicago.  Its heavy duty capabilities made it particularly ideal for military use although it was a natural choice in civilian life where it was most suitable for operating on rugged terrain and carrying heavy loads.

Edward Beck was born in 1912 and caught the haulage bug whilst working as a driver for a local heavy haulage company delivering sand. Rising up through the ranks, he became a manager just before World War II. After the War, Edward saw a gap in the transport of heavy plant machinery and set up on his own, with an office and a yard in Manchester naming his new company Contractors (Manchester) Ltd.  He adopted the pale yellow livery in 1948 and it became the trademark colour scheme for Edward Beck Ltd from then on. The company went from strength to strength, moving to Reddish near Stockport in 1948 where it was very well placed for expansion and demand for its services, particularly the transport of abnormal loads for the construction industry. It also transported plant from the docks to destinations across the UK. In 1955 he set up another company Contractors (Transport) Ltd., the period of our Oxford model. In 1972, the highly successful Edward Beck & son Ltd decided to wind up the business and the whole family moved to the Isle of Man, where Edward enjoyed his retirement until his death in 1987 aged 74.  His wife died in 2009 aged 96 while his son Teddy and family continue to live there.

Our Oxford model is a nostalgic tribute to Edward Beck Ltd, decorated in the company’s familiar primrose yellow bodywork. Contrasting trim includes black mudguards, chassis, white bumpers and black interior. The Diamond T is registered PML 804. A roof board over the cab carries the name in red of Edward Beck & Son Ltd. Additional lettering along the sides of the trailer and on the cab doors highlights all the contact details in Greg St, Reddish and their London Terminus. A spare wheel sits in the front of the trailer decorated with the same red centre as those on the vehicle.

While Edward Beck & Son Ltd has disappeared into the annals of heavy haulage history, the name lives on in this authentic Oxford replica.

Multi use…
Style: 200 Count, Style: 200 Count
I love these Vanity Fair Napkins. They fit perfectly in my counter dispenser. They are a nice, attractive napkin whether for breakfast, lunch or dinner. And they are at a good price point. But truth be told, they come in handy when you have a cold. Grab a handful and take along with you for blowing your nose. They are stronger than bath tissue, yet softer than a paper towel and strong enough for all your congestion.

Reliable and High-Quality for Daily Use
Style: 400 Count, Style: 400 Count
These napkins have a great weight to them. They are surprisingly thick, which adds to their sturdiness—they don't fall apart the moment they get slightly damp like cheaper brands. The size is perfect for everyday meals. Because they are soft yet strong, they are a breeze for ease of use, whether you're cleaning up a quick spill or just setting the table. The bright white color looks clean and classic, making them versatile enough for both casual lunches and nicer dinners. With the 400-count value pack, you really get excellent value for money. It’s much more convenient to buy in bulk so you aren't constantly running back to the store.

Great Quality and Value for Everyday Use!
Style: 400 Count, Style: 400 Count
I’m really happy with these napkins! The Vanity Fair Everyday Napkins 2‑Ply (400 Count) are soft, durable, and perfect for everyday meals. They are strong enough to handle spills without tearing easily, which makes them great for family dinners and quick clean-ups. I also love the value pack — having 400 napkins means they last a long time and I don’t have to keep buying more every week. The quality is much better than many basic napkins, but still very affordable. Overall, these are reliable, practical, and a great addition to any kitchen. I would definitely purchase them again!

Good quantity and quality suitable for daily use
Style: 400 Count, Style: 400 Count
I bought the 400-unit Vanity Fair Everyday napkin pack and it seemed like a practical option for daily use at home. The package comes well sealed and the napkins have a standard size that works well for both fast meals and family dinners. They are resistant enough to clean small spills and do not break easily when used. They also have a soft texture to the touch, which makes them comfortable for daily use. I like that the package is large, since it yields a lot and avoids having to buy so often. In general, I think it is a good option if you are looking for a functional napkin, with a good presentation and a convenient amount for the home.

They look clean and classic on the table.
Style: 200 Count, Style: 200 Count
I really like these napkins. They are soft and have a cloth-like feel, which makes them nicer to use than basic paper napkins. The 2-ply material feels strong and doesn’t fall apart easily when wiping hands or small spills, so I don’t need to use many at once. They look clean and classic on the table, so they work well for everyday meals, snacks, or casual gatherings. Having 200 in a pack means they last a long time, and they are good value for daily use.
