W.C maker,is it William Gibson?

[gsmoggy]

Hi Members
Is this mark William Gibson's?
I could only find a WC ,working with John Langman, is it known if he worked on his own ? or is this another maker?
Looks like the P is for 1910.

Does the hallmark have some kind of little bulges? Then it could be William Comyns & Sons.

Definitely William Comyns & Sons. And I can confirm that it is 1910.

Hi Sasropakis and Phil

Thank you both for finding the maker Comyns,that's great looks like he is classed as a reasonable maker,and also thank Sas for the other link,that seems to have more W.C makers than I could find on this site in London makers. Great work.

Most definitely William Comyns who had his workshop on regent street. He was renowned for this type of inlay work on tortoiseshell and did a huge variety of items including clocks, dressing sets, boxes, and candlesticks etc.

William Comyns & Sons still exists today, in 1993 they were acquired by the Malaysian business Royal Selangor. Their products are now to be found bearing the marks of the Kuala Lumpur Assay Office.
