Thanks Sue but the drawers are fine - it's the castors on my floor that are the problem!
Maybe if I can find another 3 Pete will let me have his then that will solve the problem  ;D

Some close ups of my example with one of them taken with the lens inside the whatever-it-is. There is absolutely no wear inside this so if it was bought as some sort of castor I really doubt it was ever used.

I think the colouring/glass is more reminiscent of the unknown Elwell types than Nazeing. Also it looks off-centre and askew rendering it useless for furniture use.
