This tool uses Bob Singleton's classification system from the book 'The Allcock Aerial: a Collectors Guide'. It is not a valuation service, and accuracy is not guaranteed. It will not identify prototype, special order, or non-Allcock Aerials (e.g. Aerial-type reels by Chris Lythe, Richard Carter, Fred Crouch etc.)
Please report any errors to me.
