Perfect. Style: Art
nouveau A super art nouveau design, elegant, nicely
coloured and very bright, visually appealing and
of great interest to collectors. The design was registered by W Sherwin &
Co in 1907, little is known about the company
except that they registered a handful of design
and we see a few others both moulded and
tubelined but all are on Johnsons blanks. This
on a Sherwin & Cotton blank is the first
I've seen and the first hint of a connection
between W Sherwin and Sherwin & Cotton.
Still likely a remote connection for I suspect
that W Sherwin was taken over by Johnsons
sometine around 1910. Johnsons took over Sherwin
& Cotton in 1911 and moved some production
to their old works so likely this was made
around 1911/12 at Sherwin & Cotton's
Eastwood Works by H & R Johnson. Verso perfectly clean, embossed Sherwin's
Patent etc.
