The dates ascribed to at least some of the catalogues illustrated below are tentative at best, and subject to further research. When did the address on the cataloge covers change from Ellesmere Road to St Mary's Road? When did the logo change to an express steam locomotive?
Advertisements printed 1923 and 1924 show the address as 89 Ellesmere Road, Sheffield, telephone Central 1242. An advertisement Model Railway News January 1931 quotes St Mary's Road, Sheffield, telephone Mills 25742 (sheffieldhistory.co.uk). Reference to sheffieldindexers.com shows a Kelly's Directory entry for Mills Brothers at 89 Ellesmere Road, 1925. The first Mills advertisement in Meccano Magazine was June 1936, and shows the St Mary's Road address. The first Mibro catalogue noted with an address printed on the cover appears to be 1933-34, and shows the St Mary's Road address. The move from Ellesmere Road to St Mary's Road was presumably some time between 1925 and 1931.
