They were the best-known manufacturer of Britannia metal, and also the world leader in manufacturing shooting accessories till the late Victorian era. They produced a variety of other items: from precision tools to aircraft propellers. They were particularly famous whistle makers, known for their outstanding quality. They were one of the 4 great whistle makers, the others being W Dowler & Sons, J Stevens & Son & T Yates. Their shop was located first at Silver Street (1806), Cornish Place (1822) Sheffield. Their registered trade mark since 1879 was a Trumpet with a banner hanging from it. Although registered in 1879, the "Trumpet with Banner" logo was used for many years before registration and appears on many of their silver plate pieces. Besides whistles, they were one of the foremost names in silver plate and sterling tableware including silver tea services and hollowware pieces. They also made silver ware serving pieces and had a wide catalogue of patterns. Their tea sets and hollowware pieces are very valuable as antiques. In 1915 the company sold its stock to an Italian Company and ceased manufacturing shooting accessories. The firm continued to be a family run enterprise until 1976. Since 1976 The company was purchased and was in an American ownership.
