I agree with you regarding ribbon clamps. I let Roger Moment have a few 
originals in BMC packets some years ago.

However I believe that your reference to Norman is wrong. Jubilee is or 
was in 1956, a British company that made worm drive hose clips. Not 
ribbon type to the best of my knowledge The company that made them was 
L. Robinson and Co. (Gillingham) Ltd.
