Description: | The front cover is of black card with the title in silver lettering and an illustration of a country house/hall. The interior is all black text on cream paper. The first page is a repeat of the cover, with the price (sixpence) and note of illustrator. With 12 pages in total, it was published by J&J Wiggin, with illustrations by Leo Dowd, one of the leading artists of 'Punch' magazine.
The booklet, by "A Married Man" (namely William Wiggin) charts the history of Old Hall tableware from early beginnings when the first idea for the production of a stainless steel toast rack was suggested. The author's wife, Nellie, suggested he make some tableware made out of Staybrite after receiving many gifts made of silver for their Silver Wedding Anniversary, which she realised would need a lot of polishing. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Walsall Museums | Rights holder: | Walsall Museums | Subjects: | Love and Marriage Black Country Wedding Day Steel industry | Temporal: | 1934 | Source: | Black Country History | Creator: | Old Hall Tableware; 1893-1984 | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
