Believe it or not, this pram wasn't made in the UK. Bilt-Rite was one of the nicer pram builders here in the US at one time, and made several models of English-style prams like this one.
@snowwhite67 Now that's interesting to know! There was a Bilt-Rite Co. which used to be located in Orangeburg, NY, near New York City. I believe they later merged with Century Children's Products. I have a smaller Bilt-Rite stroller made by them we purchased new in 1986...the mfr date on it is actually 7/84. Either Bilt-Rite had an English division I never knew about, or there were in fact two separate companys, both named Bilt-Rite. Thanks for the info...have to do some more digging on it.

@shortliner68 it does say, both on the pram body and on the wheels, Made in England, with the town, but I forget the name of it.

@shortliner68 perhaps they created a division in the US much later... after all, mine had a tag inside that had the year 1954 on it!

@caddycdv Thanks! I think so too! I would have Loved to have had this when my 7 children were babies, but I only found it after they were all bigger!
