Robin, it depends who put the number on. Your number could be one from a club, or if made by a professional boiler maker could have his or her mark on it.

Most Model engineering clubs who carry out boiler tests call for a number to be added for identification, if the boiler is not already numbered. The club or owner would stamp the boiler, and this could indicate the club that tests the boiler. A club would be happy to use a boiler makers number for I/D if there were one. A boiler makers number could have a makers code as well. Why not share the number with the community who may well be able to answer your question?

Hi the boiler number is RC 697 it’s a very well made

[Mike Henderson 1Participant @mikehenderson1]

Can I suggest the quality and the serial number would suggest Reg Chambers as the (professional) builder.

Yes Fine boilers! You was lucky! I had a boiler ( and looking for history) as inspected by Brandon smee; but after a very long correspondence; it seems the records were destroyed by a fire!! Maybe their fire safety is the same as their testing! 🤪
