| Fonctions : | This item was manufactured by the firm of Adie Brothers Ltd which was incorporated in 1906 in Birmingham, England. It joined with the partnership of manufacturing jewellers, gold and silversmiths of McKewan & Adie alongside the box and packing case makers of E.S. Barnsley & Co. Percy Adie was the head of the company until the 1940s and was later taken over by Tony Adie and partner Frank Taylor. It remained operation in the 1960s when it became part of British Silverware and then closed down in 1968. (Information obtained at http://www.silvercollection.it/ENGLISHSILVERMARKSXA.html). |
