Ludlow - Manufactures Since 1867
I came across another snippet of information today about Ludlow & Co. on the Grace’s Guide website containing details of “The Best of British Engineering. 1750-1960s” - it’s a copy of an advertisement for the Firm that appeared in the March 1946 issue of The British Trade Journal & Export World, p. 351. As well as saying that Ludlow & Co. Ltd made “Officers’ Badges and Buttons”, the interesting thing here is that the advert also clearly states that the Company have been “Actual Manufactures Since 1867”; which is a good few years earlier that the date of 1873 for their establishment in Harfield’s A Commercial Directory of the Jews of the United Kingdom (published in 1894), and which I noted in post #4 of this thread. If I can find out any more about which of these dates is correct, then I’ll be sure to post it up.
Regards
Martin
