WATERHOUSE & PARKER

Waterhouse & Parker - Birmingham - 1840

Thomas Waterhouse and Thomas Parker entered their mark at the Birmingham Assay Office on the 24th August 1836. Their mark 'W&P' is very easily confused with a similar one entered by the partnership of Job Winchurst and John Pritchard on the 24th March 1830, the partnerships, however, do not overlap, so an accompanying date mark will reveal the maker.

PURCELL BROTHERS

Hockley Street, Birmingham


Image

Image
P.BROS - Birmingham - 1937

Purcell Brothers were one of the very few firms to produce flatware at Birmingham after the war. During WWII flatware production was limited, by government order, to Sheffield only, with the Birmingham factories being converted to producing goods for the war effort. Following the end of hostillities, the only firms of any note to restart the manufacture of flatware at Birmingham were Elkingtons, Arthur Price & Co, Angora Silver Plate Co., and Purcell Brothers.

Purcell Brothers were founded in 1906 by the Fletcher family, their main business was small boxed sets, but they did also make full lines of flatware. They were bought out by Arthur Price & Co. in the late 1950's.
