PURCELL BROTHERS
Hockley Street, Birmingham
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.
