Hello  Jeannie,  sorry  I  didn't  get   back  to you,  I  only know  of  one  pram  manufacturer   who  used     a  hand  brake  like  you describe  and  if I  remember  rightly  it  was   called Churchill.    I   don't  know much  about   them  and  I  personally  have never seen one, but they do  come  up  for  sale  now  and again.   I'll    double  check  with  my  friends  that    I   am giving  you the  right information  here,  if  not  I  will post  a  message  again  about  it.

I've   just  been  told  that   there  was  a 'Savile'  pram  for  sale on  Ebay  recently   which I  didn't  see,   and  that  had a  handbrake   too.    I  had  never  heard of a  Savile  before   but  it  looks     a nice little  pram.    This is  hte  number  for it   but  it  has  ended   so   you will only have  a limited   time  to  see it on Ebay  using  this number - 130338596263

Yes the pran is called a Churchil, I have one on the smaller wheels which I am restoring, originally it was grey and white and im doing it navy and white.
