Almost nothing. They were listed in Kelly’s Directory of Manufacturers & Merchants 1966 - Morfed (South Wales) Ltd., spectacle joints & metal buttons & buckles & industrial pressings, Poplar Road, off Van Road, Caerphilly, with a branch (Sales Office?) Morfed Products Ltd., button manufacturers, 127 King’s Cross Road, London WC1. Companies House website shows, or did in 2006, that they were dissolved on 20 October 1987.
I have seen their backmarks on buttons to the RAF, WRAC, Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders. Rex |

Just come across this thread whilst looking up the maker “Morfed”: I have a large AA Royal Armoured Corps button stamped “MORFED (SOUTH WALES) LTD CAERPHILLY”.

an old thread I know but I bought 8 MORFED buttons for the RM recently, I only really wanted one for my collection, but they came as a lot.
As being born in the borough of Caerphilly they were of interest.
