“Higgs L’pool” Electroplate Marks
Hello, avid Forum readers could feel the marks carried on the spoon pictured below appear a little familiar.
They will know they are trade marking on a Booth Steamship Co. pickle fork shown in 2 posts in Contributors Notes.
viewtopic.php?p=155848&hilit=liverpool+ ... %20fork%3A
For anyone who is unsure, the mark “L’POOL” is an accepted abbreviation for the port city of Liverpool and “HIGGS” is “loosely” described as the maker, but may well have been a retailer (maybe If the pickle fork had been solid silver, then “Higgs” would have been considered a sponsor’s mark).
In the 19th & 20th century, in Liverpool, there was a “HIGGS” concern that could have been that named retailer of the pictured spoon and the pickle fork.
Slater's Directories of Important English Towns, 1847
Liverpool, IRONMONGERS......Higgs Benjamin. 46 Lord St
Later newspaper adverts suggest the firm did in fact start in 1837 and considering the below “Gazette” entry, before 1843, the firm had been “Betteley & Higgs”. (Elsewhere, 41 South Castle Street was a referenced address.)
Liverpool, 11th May 1844. NOTICE is hereby given, that the Partnership formerly subsisting between the undersigned, as Ironmongers, was dissolved on the 1st day of July last. All debts due to and owing from the late concern will be received and paid by the undersigned Benjamin Higgs, who will continue the business on his own account, under the style of the late firm, of Betteley and Higgs.
Joseph Betteley, Benjn. Higgs.
In the Gore's 1853 Directory of Liverpool & its Environs, there was a slight change to the entry:
.............IRONMONGERS: (Those marked [e] are Furnishing.)..........“e” Higgs Benjamin, 46 Lord St.
There are a few Liverpool Trade directories available but the firm did advertise regularly in local newspapers.
From the newspapers by 1863 the firm had become “Higgs & Jones” though by 1877 these “Furnishing Ironmongers” had become “Higgs & Potter” and very shortly afterwards “John Higgs & Co”.
June 1877
Changes though were not finished yet, as in Kelly's Directory of Liverpool & Birkenhead, 1894. [Part 1 Liverpool], ironmongers “Higgs & Smith” were listed at 46 Lord Street; Tn 814.
Gore's Directory of Liverpool & Birkenhead, 1900. Part 3 Trade & Official Directories
IRONMONGERS. Those marked [e] are Furnishing........“e” Higgs & Smith 46 Lord St. W
Higgs&Smith were still trading into the 2nd decade of the 20th century
There is every likelihood that this “Higgs” ironmongery “line” supplied the spoon in my image and the pickle fork to the steamship line in the other post. The newspaper adverts often have direct references for “services” to ships and Lord Street was very close to the Liverpool Dock area. Their adverts do proclaim they are electroplaters but it is not suggested as such by the trade directories. The pickle fork’s owners, Booth Steamship Co., were formed in 1881 but became Ltd. in 1901. The pickle fork did not carry “Ltd” so it possibly could have been supplied during the “John Higgs & Co” period, circa 1880. However, a short snappy name as “Higgs” may have been a convenient “mark” for production purposes at any time for any utensils.

...................Diamond merchants, jewellers & watch & clock makers, agents to the Waltham Watch Co.
An evolving concern, but were there connections to an F. Frisch of 24 Church Street in 1864 who has a very short Forum reference here.

..................Schierwater & Lloyd, Diamond Merchants and Jewellers, Watch and Clock Makers, Special Agents to the Waltham Watch Co.
...........................................29 Church Street, W
Other names found, but not derived from primary sources were a Carlos Frisch, together with a suggested son of Amandus Schierwater, Charles Adolf Schierwater possibly in the Schierwater & Lloyd Ltd period.
These images, illustrate the evolving concern.
The image showing hallmarks was a tray for plates and has the Sheffield date letter for 1898 and shows the change from Frisch, Schierwater & Lloyd had likely happened before that date.
The last images are of the pocket watch movements seeming to confirm Frisch & Shierwater were in the true sense, watchmakers, the 2nd movement is in a London half hunter gold case and had gold parts dated 1871 (q) and 1873 (S). [These dates are less than10 years on from F.Frisch working on Church Street.]
Any other watches that I noted with dials carrying the various names of the different concerns did have Waltham movements in.
Schierwater & Lloyd Ltd has some Liverpool Echo newspaper references dating to the first half of the 1930’s but information on the concern’s ending I did not find.
