Samuel Heath & Sons (SH&S Ltd.)
Leopold Street,
Birmingham, was established in 1820 and at that time manufactured brass
bedstead ornaments and candlesticks. In 1845 they became Heath & Lawton and
started using a 'Heathware' Trade Mark. They changed the name to Samuel Heath in
1867, became a public limited company in
1890 and over the years have manufactured a diverse range of products. Most
were unmarked except for wartime production of rifle oilers and some oil lamp
burners.
Still in business, their

Here are the famous 'Lipton's
Tea' caddies produced for the Wembley 'British Empire' Exhibition in 1924, 1925
and 1926. Also shown is a small kettle stamped 'A Present from Glasgow'
from another exhibition. Most of these useful souvenirs have been in use
and it is rare to find one in perfect condition. |

jardinières of Edwardian arts and crafts style with scrolls and motifs.
