The Chelmsford Star branch (CSCS) was one of the 1000+ Co-Ops who would have bought via the CWS, which was the bulk buying/wholesale arm of the co-operative movement. It was called 'Star' because it hoped to become a star in the town and seems to have been an important part of the organisation. It is most likely that this machine was badged for the Co-Operative Society's Chelmsford Star branch (CSCS). Made in 1895 This machine bears the early Jones Rose on the bed of the machine and feathery decals.
