Mappin & Webb
Prominent English engravers, silversmiths and cutlers, still thriving today. Company founded by Joseph Mappin in Sheffield in 1810. Taken over by sons as Mappin Brothers, who later joined with a brother-in-law to become Mappin & Webb. Began producing good-quality electroplate silverware in the mid 19th Century; now concerned mainly with jewelry. Earlier marks were registered by John Newton Webb and George Webb, plateworkers, in 1866 and 1880. As Mappin & Webb Limited they registered marks in 1899 and 1900.
