Hello John -

I don't have any info right to hand but will do some research into my Waterlows corporate documents and company histories to see what I can find.

As to Waterlow Brothers & Layton (WBL) and Waterlow & Sons (WS) - there is a very interesting history of the two firms. I'm not sure if others on this thread are interested in a potted history. If so, please let me know and I will post it.

Warm regards,

Mel

Hello -

I envy the opportunities you had to exchange ideas with others in the WSC. The only member I had the pleasure of visiting with in person was the Rev David Hubbard. He helped me to complete my set of the WSC Journals. Do you ever hear from David?

I don't have any copies of WandS - I would very much like to obtain a complete set. Any help in finding a set is welcome. I have been working on my comprehensive catalogue of the works of Waterlow & Sons now for over 25 years. All information concerning the firm is received with great appreciation.

Warm regards,

Mel

Yes - I was a member of the Waterlow Study Circle and wrote a number of articles for the journal. I also have a complete set of the journals in the event that there is an article you are seeking to research. It was a shame when the society disbanded. Although at that time, I was mostly consumed with raising my young daughter who is now headed off to university - so I will now have more time for Waterlows!

I will dig through my Waterlow material this weekend to see if I can find my list of engravers and see if I can shed any light. Gene Hessler lists in his book "The International Engravers Line", the following engravers for Waterlows: Bain, Harold J. Bard, Herbert Bourne, Harry Gilbert Carradine, Edward Dawson, Ernest Edward Dickenson, Edmund Dulac, George R. Fairweather, John Augustus Charles Harrison, Thomas Samuel Harrison, Charles Henry Jeens, Joseph Lawrence Keen, Richard Loxley and J Sanchez Toda. There are some great photos in the book and I will see if I can scan them over the next couple of days and post them. He also lists a Hugh Wilson as the engraver for the 1864 issues of the Clydesdale Banking Company in Scotland. Possibly a relation?

That is a fantastic salesman's sample book - I have several - some which include cheques/travellers cheques and others which include stamps. I also have some of the different catalogues that include samples. I would love to have the images for my research. Your Flicker account is setup to prevent downloading the images. Would you mind sending me the images at my email address? I can be reached at email address removed by moderator please use the private message function to exchange sensitive information. Please let me know what aspects of Waterlows you are most interested in and I will respond accordingly. There are so many topics - I am not sure where you would like me to begin.

Thanks again for sharing the photo-link. You made my week with that posting!

Warm regards,

Mel

Hello -

I am new to this web site. I am a specialist in collecting the work of the British printing firms of Waterlow & Sons and Waterlow Brothers & Layton. I have also been researching these firms for the past 25 years and would welcome the opportunity to share my research with those who are interested. I have not limited my research to only stamps and banknotes but have researched the book and legal publishing, posters, train tickets and related products for use in railway travel, maps, pens, bonds/shares, travellers cheques/bank cheques, and many more items. I also own a number of catalogues together with company produced histories as well as information from the printing archives.

I am always interested in adding to both my knowledge and my collection, I welcome your communication.

Kind regards,

Mel Spinella
