Discuss What is the age of fuse box. in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
I suspect the important answer is "too old for continued use".
I am not from your side of the pond but to hazard a guess I would say 1960-70s, and the chances of it still having safe replacement parts are slim. Quite probably if fails on other aspects of the latest code, but see if one of the USA members such as @Megawatt appears as he will know far more then I do on this.

That old Edison base fuse box is probably older than you are. If I ran into that I would upgrade the service to 200 amp and gut the old fuse box and make it a junction box and just make splices pulled from the main. Right now all you have is 60 amps.
General Switch does not exist anymore either, last time I saw their brand for sale is when I stopped in a home center in Texas in early 2000 & saw their panels being on clearance. That fusible panel is old, by the late 1970's fusible panels were removed from the manufacturers catalogs
