G.C.V.O. London Gazette 11 August 1930: For services as Flag Officer Royal Yachts. C.B. London Gazette 1 January 1919: ‘In recognition of services during the War.’ The original recommendation states: ‘Sank Kaiser Wilhelm de Grosse. Extract from letter to Rear-Admiral, Carnarvon: Captain Buller’s action has their Lordship’s complete approval in every respect for the humane and correct manner in which he did his duty.’ Henry Tritton Buller was born in 1873, the son of Admiral Sir Alexander Buller, G.C.B., of Erie Hall, Devon and Belmore House, West Cowes, and entered the Royal Navy as a Cadet in January 1887. Regular seagoing duties aside, his subsequent career appointments also included his services as First Lieutenant of the Royal Yacht Victoria and Albert in 1902-04, for which he was awarded the Russian Order of St. Anne in October 1904 and advanced to Commander, and as Commanding Officer of the Royal Naval College, Dartmouth between January 1908 and June 1911. On the Prince of Wales passing out of the college in 1911, Buller was appointed M.V.O. (London Gazette 12 April 1911, refers) and advanced to Captain. His next appointment was Flag Captain Home Fleets at Portsmouth, 1911-12, whence he was appointed to the command of H.M.S. Highflyer, the training ship for special entry cadets. On the day hostilities broke out in 1914, Buller in Highflyer captured to S.S. Tubantia, carrying German reservists and a gold shipment. Three weeks later, he found the German commerce raider Kaiser Wilhelm Der Grosse, coaling in Spanish territorial waters off the mouth of the Oro River, West Africa. On offering the faster vessel the chance to surrender, Buller received the signal: “Germans never surrender, and you must respect the neutrality of Spain.” But since it was known that the commerce raider had abused Spanish neutrality by using the river mouth as a permanent base for some weeks, Buller gave warning that he would attack in half an hour, allowing time for the colliers to withdraw with such personnel as the German captain felt fit. Deeds That Thrill the Empire takes up the story: ‘As soon as the period of grace had elapsed the Highflyer again inquired if the enemy would surrender, and when the answer came, “We have nothing more to say,” the action opened without further parley. The British cruiser let fly with one of her 6-inch guns at a range of just under 10,000 yards; but the shot fell short. The enemy’s guns were smaller - 4.1-inch - but much more modern, and before our shells began to hit the enemy the German projectiles were falling thickly around and upon the Highflyer. One shell went between a man’s legs and burst just behind him, peppering him with splinters. Another struck the bridge just after the captain had left it to go into the conning-tower, and knocked a searchlight overboard. All this time the Highflyer was steaming in so as to get her guns well within range; and when the 100lb shells began to hit they “kept on target” in a manner that spoke well for the training of our gunners. One shot carried away a 4-inch gun on the after-deck of the enemy. Another burst under the quarter-deck and started a fire; a third - perhaps the decisive shot of the action - struck her amidships on the water-line and tore a great rent in her side. From stem to stern the 6-inch shells tore their destructive way, and it was less than half and hour after the fighting began that the “pride of the Atlantic” began to slacken her fire. The water was pouring into the hole amidships, and she slowly began to heel to port. Three boat loads of men were seen to leave her and make for the shore … The Highflyer immediately signalled that if the enemy wished to abandon ship, they would not be interfered with; and as the guns of the Kaiser Wilhelm had by this time ceased to answer our fire, the Highflyer ceased also, and two boats were sent off with surgeons, sick-berth attendants and medical stores, to do what they could for the enemy’s wounded. The ship herself was battered beyond all hope, and presently heeled over and sank in about fifty feet of water. Although Highflyer had been hit about fifteen times her losses amounted to only one man killed and five slightly wounded. The enemy’s loss is unknown, but it is estimated that at least two hundred were killed or wounded, while nearly four hundred of those who had escaped in the colliers were captured a fortnight later in the Hamburg-America liner Bethania … ’ The same source concludes: ‘It was noteworthy as being the first duel of the naval war and as being the first definite step in the process of “clearing the seas.” It is not often the Admiralty evinces any enthusiasm in the achievements of the Fleet, and the following message despatched to the victorious cruiser is therefore all the more remarkable: “Admiralty to Highflyer – Bravo! You have rendered a service not only to Britain, but to the peaceful commerce of the world. The German officers and crew appear to have carried out their duties with humanity and restraint, and are therefore worthy of all seamanlike consideration.” Buller departed Highflyer in May 1916, when he was appointed Naval Assistant to the Second Sea Lord at the Admiralty, but he returned to sea as Flag Captain in the Barham in April 1918, and as Commanding Officer of the Valiant at the war’s end. A succession of ‘royal appointments’ ensued in the 20s and 30s, commencing with his command of the Malaya during the Duke of Connaught’s visit to India in early 1921. He was appointed C.V.O. (London Gazette 25 March 1921, refers) and advanced to Rear-Admiral. He then served as Officer Commanding H.M.’s Yachts during the period of King George V’s cruise in the Mediterranean, and was appointed K.C.V.O. (London Gazette 22 April 1925, refers). ...

Charles Hotham was born on 20 March 1843, a descendent of Baron Hotham (created 1621). He entered the Royal Navy as a Naval Cadet aboard H.M.S. Forte on 14 February 1856, and served aboard James Watt and Cordelia from 1857 to 1860, receiving promotion to Midshipman in February 1858. He joined Pelorus from 27 December 1860 to December 1862, and whilst in this vessel he took part in the early actions of the Second Maori War in 1860-61. He was promoted to Sub Lieutenant on 20 March 1862, and to Lieutenant on 17 February 1863 whilst at Excellent. His next appointment was to Curacoa on 20 April 1863, in home waters but this vessel was subsequently transferred to the Australian Station and was quickly engaged in action during the latter part of the Second Maori War. Hotham saw action during a frontal assault on 20 November 1863, on the Maori Redoubt at Ragariri by 90 seamen, armed with revolvers and cutlasses, from H.M. Ships Eclipse, Curacoa and Miranda, under Commander R. C. Mayne, where they were twice repulsed. During another immediate assault led by Commander Phillimore and Lieutenant Downes, First Lieutenant of Miranda, on 20 November 1863, Charles Hotham suffered a severe gun shot wound in the lower half of his right leg. The Surgeon reported ten days later than he was doing well. Hotham's conduct was favourably noticed by Commodore Wiseman on 30 November 1863 and was reported to the Admiralty (London Gazette 13 February 1864). Some time previously he had been sent in charge of a detached party of seamen to escort a Military Officer across mud flats in the rear of the enemy's position, 'for which services he was specially mentioned'. He was also Mentioned in Despatches on a further three occasions (see London Gazettes of 13 February 1864, 19 February 1864, and 15 July 1864). The Admiralty authorised his promotion to Commander as soon as possible commensurate with his completion of the correct amount of sea time by London Gazette 15 July 1864. He received his promotion to Commander on 19 April 1865 when he was only 23 years old, and after being paid off from Curacoa in July 1865, he was placed on half pay for two years. Hotham’s next appointment was the Command of Jaseur from 1867 to 1871, where he received promotion to Captain on 29 December 1871, aged 28 years. He subsequently Commanded Charybdis from 1877 to 1880, and served as Flag Captain of Alexandra from November 1881 to February 1883. In the latter vessel he was engaged during the Egyptian War in the attacks on the forts at Alexandria, and was publicly thanked for his services four days later on 15 July 1882. He was appointed Chief of Staff of the Naval Brigade, and by London Gazette dated 19 July 1882 was awarded the C.B., and Osmanieh 3rd Class. Hotham commanded Ruby from April 1885 to March 1886, and during 1887 he was appointed Assistant to the Admiral Superintendent of the Naval Review and was awarded the Jubilee Medal. He was promoted to Rear-Admiral on 6 January 1888, aged 45 years, and appointed a Lord of the Admiralty from January 1888 to December 1889. His next appointment was Commander-in-Chief, Pacific Station from 1890 to 1893, flying his flag aboard Warspite. He was promoted to Vice-Admiral on 1 September 1893 and awarded the K.C.B. on 24 May 1895. From December 1897 until July 1899 Hotham was Commander-in-Chief Sheerness, flying his flag aboard Wildfire. Following Promotion to Admiral on 13 January 1899, he was appointed Commander-in-Chief Portsmouth in October 1900, until promoted to Admiral of the Fleet on 30 August 1903. At the Funeral of Queen Victoria on 2 February 1901, he was a supporter of the Royal Coffin, and was subsequently awarded the G.C.V.O. He was awarded the G.C.B. on 9 November 1902 for services at the Coronation of King Edward VII. Hotham died on 22 March 1925. He is the only man known to have been eligible for two differently dated New Zealand Campaign Medals, serving aboard Pelorus as a Midshipman for the 1860-61 Campaign, and aboard Curacoa as a Lieutenant R.N. for the 1863-64 battles. Men who fought in two separately dated actions were not entitled to a clasp (or a second differently dated Medal) for their additional participation. When such an instance occurred, as happened in this unique case, it was marked solely by extra details engraved on the edge of his 1860-61 dated Medal (i.e., 'Midn and Lieut Naval Brigade 1860-61-63-64'). He also received the rare distinction of being awarded all of the Jubilee and Coronation Medals issued between 1887 and 1911. Charles Hotham’s obituary given in The Times, 22 March 1925, states: ‘Admiral of the Fleet Sir Charles Hotham, G.C.B., G.C.V.O., the Senior Officer of his rank in the Royal Navy, whose death was announced, came of a distinguished naval family which has given many sons to the Imperial Forces. The eldest son of Captain John Hotham, his great Grandfather was a brother of the first Baron Hotham and thus the Admiral of the Fleet was related in the second and third degree to innumerable other naval officers. He gravitated to the Royal Navy almost as a matter of course, and won early advancement to the highest positions. He was a member of that important Board of the Admiralty which, under Lord George Hamilton, was responsible in 1889 for the great Naval Defence Act, which considerably raised the strength of the Fleet and placed the sea power of the Empire on a firm basis. Although he later held high Command afloat, and filled administrative posts ashore, it was not his good fortune to participate in the war work of the Fleet which he had helped to create. He had, however, the rare distinction of being appointed Commander in Chief on three occasions, China, the Nore and Portsmouth. ‘Charles Frederick Hotham was born on 20 March 1843 and entered the Royal Navy in 1856 when he was barely 13. He was not yet 20 when he was promoted to Lieutenant and, while serving in this rank in Curacoa, flag ship on the Australian Station, he was engaged in the New Zealand War of 1863 where, in Command of a party of small arm men, he repeatedly distinguished himself, and especially at the attack on Rangariri in November 1863. His conduct was favourably reported at the Admiralty and backed up by his previous good record. He obtained Commander's rank as soon as he had completed the required two years Lieutenant's service. From 1867 to 1870 he Commanded the Jaseur, screw gun vessel serving in the Mediterranean and on the West Cost of Africa and in December 1871 being ...

As Sub-Lieutenant of the Philomel, he served with the Naval Brigade during operations against the Malays in the Straits of Malacca in 1875-76, attached to the Larut Field Force, comprising 7 officers and 98 seamen and marines. During the advance of this force from the mouth of the Larut to Qualla Kangsa, a detachment of the troops was attacked by a concealed body of Malays and would have been cut to pieces but for the extreme gallantry by shown by the seamen, who had been formed up as a guard for Brigadier-General Ross, in command of the Field Force. Lieutenant Wood, Sub-Lieutenant Poore, and seamen Henry Thompson, Harry Bennett and David Sloper gained special commendation for their bravery in this affair (all three seamen being awarded the CGM, the only such awards for this campaign). Poore was specially promoted to Lieutenant for his services during this campaign. Poore was Lieutenant of Invincible at the bombardment of Alexandria, 11 July 1882, where he had the honour of firing the last shot, as described by Frank Scudamore in his chapter on Lord Kitchener from A Sheaf of Memories: “The signal to cease fire had been made from the Flag-ship, and was, of course, instantly obeyed; but it appears that on the Invincible was a piece of ordnance – an early type of quick-firer (I believe) – which when once prepared for action could not be unloaded without considerable danger to its gun-crew. “Gunnery Jack” who had to deal with this weapon was Lieutenant Richard Poore - now Admiral Sir Richard Poore, Bart. (retired), but then affectionately known in the Service as “Crush-me Dick.” He accordingly asked and received permission to fire his piece. Every ship in the fleet, of course, had read the signal, and all glasses were braqués on the fort, which was Poore’s objective. “ ‘Crush-me,’” said Kitchener, “laid his gun well and true, and the shell sped. An excellent shot – it landed plump in the centre of the upper works. An immense cloud of dust and debris darkened the air for a moment. But when this cleared away, an old woman rushed frantically from an outhouse and chased in some fowls, afraid lest harm befall them.” Some hours earlier during the bombardment, seeing that the gunners in the lower battery of Mex had abandoned their guns, a party of twelve volunteers, under Lieutenant Bradford, including Lieutenants Poore and Lambton, landed through the growing swell and breaking surf, and spiked six smooth-bores, and disabled two 10-inch rifled muzzle-loaders by exploding charges of gun-cotton in their muzzles. In the period that followed, Lieutenant Poore was of great assistance to Captain J. A. Fisher, who devised and improvised an armoured train which at once became exceedingly useful for reconnoitring purposes, and which was first employed in action on July 28th. Lieutenant Poore served in the armoured train throughout the remainder of the campaign. The train had a busy day on August 4th, when it accompanied a strong reconnaissance to Mallaha Junction, and there came into contact with Arabi’s outposts, and on the following day, the train was for the first time seriously engaged. On the 5th it steamed out under Captain Fisher at about 4pm. On board were Sir Archibald Alison, Admiral Seymour, Lieutenant-Colonel Henry Tuson, R.M.A., and 7 other officers including Poore. A train followed with 700 men of the Marine battalion, and in conjunction with a military force from Ramleh, and another contingent of 200 blue-jackets and 1000 Marines, engaged some 2,000 of the enemy at Mallaha Junction. On our side two men were killed and 16 wounded. The armoured train continued to make reconnaissances of this kind but the value of them was doubtful, as the positions taken were never held. Poore, still Lieutenant of the Invincible, next served with the Naval Brigade landed for service in the Sudan, with the Nile Expedition for the relief of General Gordon at Khartoum, in 1884-85. His services during this campaign were equally distinguished, especially when in command of the steamer Nassif Rheir while passing the Cataracts between Wadi Halfa and Dongola, and when crossing the desert with the 2nd Division of the Naval Brigade. He was mentioned in dispatches and promoted to Commander for these services. Poore was later promoted Captain of the Royal Yacht; he was ADC in attendance on King Edward VII on the occasion of his Coronation, 9 August 1902; promoted Rear-Admiral in August 1903, and Rear-Admiral in Mediterranean Fleet in November 1904; awarded C.V.O. on 11 August 1905, on the occasion of the visit of the French fleet to Cowes; promoted Vice-Admiral in March 1907, and Commander-in-Chief, Australian Station, February 1908 to December 1910; K.C.B. June 1909; Admiral, 17 July 1911; Commander-in-Chief at the Nore 1911-15; retired 1917; Grand Officer of the Legion of Honour 1917; Grand Cross of the Order of the Crown of Italy 1917. Admiral Sir Richard Poor, who had succeeded his father as 4th Baronet in 1893, married in 1885, Ida, daughter of Bishop Graves of Limerick. She was the author of Recollections of an Admiral’s Wife, 1916, An Admiral’s Wife in the Making, 1917, and Harbour Lights, 1922. Admiral Poore died on 8 December 1930.

‘As an authority on gun matters, he is unrivalled – the greatest authority on Fire Control questions in the British Navy.’ So concluded Admiral Sir John Jellicoe, in assessing the capabilities of Frederic Dreyer, his Flag Captain at Jutland, in a report dated 4 October 1916.

Distinguished Service Medal (Navy) London Gazette 16 September 1919. Frederic Charles Dreyer was born on 8 January 1878, the son of a Danish astrologer who was granted British citizenship in March 1885. He entered the Royal Navy as a Cadet in Britannia in July 1891 and was appointed a Midshipman in July 1893. Having then gained advancement to Lieutenant in July 1898, he took a First with Honours in an advanced course for Gunnery and Torpedo Lieutenants and served in that capacity in battleship H.M.S. Exmouth in 1904-07. It was in this period that he commenced his pioneering research into fire control, work which resulted in him joining the revolutionary Dreadnought for an ‘experimental cruise’ in 1907. Of special interest to Dreyer was the fact that she was the first battleship to have a uniform main battery, rather than a few large guns complemented by a secondary armament of smaller guns. The result of his work - Dreyer’s Fire Control Table - was indicative of his approach to gunnery, namely plotting ranges and bearings versus time, using a range clock and other accessories to help relay data, and to develop a continuous hypothesis of range and deflection to send to guns’ crews. Their Lordships of the Admiralty were duly impressed, and he was advanced to Commander and appointed Assistant to the Director of Naval Ordnance. Dreyer’s talents also caught the eye of another noted gunnery expert, Vice-Admiral Sir John Jellicoe, under whom he served as Flag Commander in the Prince of Wales in 1910-12. A spell on the War Staff having then ensued, he was advanced to Captain in June 1913 and awarded the C.B. (Civil) in June 1914. By the outbreak of hostilities, Dreyer was serving as Flag Captain to Jellicoe in the Orion, following which he accompanied the Admiral to his new command, the Iron Duke. Given his senior role in the battle, Dreyer’s name looms large in numerous histories. Few of them fail to pay tribute to his skilful command and the fact that Iron Duke’s gunnery record for speed and accuracy was unrivalled, a record assisted by executing the classic ‘crossing the T’ manoeuvre. It was indeed to Dreyer that Jellicoe turned as the opposing sides closed each other in the early evening of 31 May 1916, requesting his Flag Captain’s opinion as to the most favourable direction in which to engage the enemy fleet, then heading north in pursuit of Admiral Beatty’s squadron. In Dreyer’s own words, ‘I reported to him that the most favourable direction was to the southward, and would [then] draw westwards as the sun sank.’ As evidenced by Iron Duke’s subsequent actions, he was bang on the mark, for at 1830 hours she had a clear view of the Koenig lit up against the sinking sun: in less than five minutes, Iron Duke fired nine salvoes, hitting the Koenig seven times. She also took out the German destroyer S-35. Arguably the most momentous moment aboard Iron Duke was awaiting news of the enemy’s precise position, a period of deep concern for Jellicoe and Dreyer. When Beatty finally imparted that information, Jellicoe reacted swiftly, a moment captured by Dreyer, who was standing by the compasses on the manoeuvring platform: ‘I then heard at one the sharp, distinctive step of the Commander-in-Chief approaching - he had steel strips on his heels. He stepped quickly onto the platform round the compasses and looked in silence at the magnetic compass card for 20 seconds. I watched his keen, brown, weather-beaten face with tremendous interest, wondering what he would do. With iron nerve he had pressed on through the mist with his 24 huge ships, each weighing 25,000 tons or more, until the last possible moment, so as to get into effective range and make the best tactical manoeuvre after obtaining the news of the position of the enemy Battle Fleet, which was his objective. I realised as I watched him that he was as cool and unmoved as ever. Then he looked up and broke the silence with the order in his clear, crisp-cut voice to Commander A. R. W. Woods, the Fleet Signal Officer, who was standing a little abaft me, “Hoist equal-speed pendant, south-east.” Woods said, “Would you make it a point to port, Sir, so that they know it is on the port-wing column?” This was a small matter and not actually necessary in view of Jellicoe’s habit of commencing the deployment in the Iron Duke while the signal was being answered. Jellicoe replied at once, “Very well. Hoist equal-speed pendant south-east by east.” ’ Of such moments, history is made. Jellicoe would later pay tribute to Dreyer in The Grand Fleet 1914-1916: ‘The mist rendered range taking a difficult matter, but the fire of the Squadron was effective. Iron Duke, having previously fired at a light cruiser between the lines, opened fire at 6.30 p.m. on a battleship of the Konig class at a range of 12,000 yards...

‘It is difficult to do adequate justice to an Admiral of the Fleet who was born nearly a century ago and whose life covered such a tremendous range: at sea in the pre-Dreadnought Navy; served in both World Wars; designed, put together and fought a successful major sea action with the most advanced naval weapon of the age; who spent eight months in a Bolshevik prison but 25 years later received the Order of Suvorov, 1st Class, at the hand of Stalin himself; who commanded three Fleets in war; was Controller of the Royal Navy and First Sea Lord; a member of the House of Lords; who made no great mistakes nor great enemies and was loved and respected by all with whom he came into contact … He never boasted of anything and it would be hard to find a man of his talents and position so totally devoid of pretension and pomposity, so unconscious of rank or position, and so very human and endowed with the common touch. He never sought publicity but when it came his way he would use it to promote the Navy, not himself … He had a keen sense of humour and an enormous sense of fun. Like all great leaders he had a streak of independence, a touch of rebel, backed by a dogged determination from which he would not be deflected so long as he was convinced he was right … ’ So stated Admiral Sir Henry Leach, G.C.B., at a Service of Thanksgiving for Admiral of the Fleet Baron Fraser of North Cape, at Westminster Abbey on 8 April 1981. The nationally important Second World War G.C.B., K.B.E. group of nineteen awarded to Admiral of The Fleet Baron Fraser of North Cape, who orchestrated the destruction of the Scharnhorst and signed the Japanese Surrender on behalf of Great Britain in September 1945 Such momentous achievements and historic occasions aside, Fraser had long before gained the glowing approbation of his seniors, from his stoic endurance of seven shocking months as a prisoner of the Bolsheviks at Baku in 1920, after being captured on a secret mission, to his pioneering work as Controller of the Royal Navy in 1939-42: in the latter post he masterminded the ship building programme that won the Battle of the Atlantic and afterwards became the only British Admiral to devise a new weapons system, oversee its production, and then win a major sea battle with it The Most Honourable Order of the Bath, G.C.B.

Admiral of the Fleet Baron Fraser of North Cape, G.C.B., K.B.E. - ‘the victor of the Royal Navy’s last battleship action and Commander-in-Chief of the most powerful fleet Britain has ever sent to sea’ - was born Bruce Austin Fraser, the youngest son of General Alexander Fraser, C.B., R.E., in London on 5 February 1888. The General allotted his sons their respective careers shortly before his death in 1898, telling the older one he would join the Army and the younger, Bruce, that he would go into the Navy. Mrs. Fraser never thought of altering her husband’s choice, and in due course the boys went to Bradfield which offered both Army and Navy classes. In September 1902, the younger Fraser passed well into H.M.S. Britannia and on completing his Cadetship with distinction in January 1904, he was appointed a Midshipman in the Channel Fleet battleship Hannibal. Over the next seven years, amid Lord Fisher’s white-hot crusade for efficiency, he advanced steadily to the rank of Lieutenant, serving in a succession of battleships and destroyers in home waters. In 1911, having decided to specialise, he commenced the forbidding Long Gunnery Course at H.M.S. Excellent, Whale Island, where for ten months or more candidates were exhaustively examined on every subject from ballistics and dynamics to personal marksmanship with rifle and pistol. When the results of the Long Course were published in October 1912, Fraser emerged top of his class and carried off the Egerton Prize. Now ‘a man of mark in the branch of the Service in which promotion was regarded as most certain,’ he was next sent on the Advanced Gunnery Course at Greenwich and then returned to Whale Island as a Junior Instructor to produce, on the eve of the First World War, the Navy’s handbook on Director Firing. Yet, even though recognised as a leading exponent of modern Naval gunnery in 1914, he was destined to serve the first two years of the war far from the technical excellence of the Grand Fleet’s Battle Squadrons massed in Scapa Flow. In July 1914, he was appointed Gunnery Officer of the elderly light cruiser Minerva, and subsequently saw active service patrolling Akaba at the head of the Red Sea, landing agents, firing on forts, rescuin...

CALCUTTA - A PAIR OF INDIAN EXPORT MARKET SALT AND KYAN PEPPER POTS HAMILTON & CO. OF CALCUTTA 1830s Each of cylindrical form, engraved SALT to one and KYAN to the other, the pull off covers of domed form, raised on a knopped stem to a spreading foot  9.2cm, 8.9cm, 6oz (combined) Hamilton & Co are amongst the most recognisable names in Indian Colonial silver and were making many of the finest examples still extant of this fascinating period. Their style very much follows that of the British forms they left behind and while they do integrate and meld with local craftsmen and decoration it is there classically George III simple silver that is most commonly encountered. The business was initially set up by Robert Hamilton who had arrived in India and set up as a Jeweller in Tank Square by 1808. He enters into partnership with Henry Glazbrook (who had arrived in 1810) and James Glazbrook (who had arrived in 1811) in 1811 creating what would become on of the most successful silversmith business in the Empire.Robert’s hands on work with the business appears short and by 1817 had ceased to have an interest in the firm. Why his connection is so short is unknown but he had returned to England as early as 1812. His connection to the country doesn’t cease however as he stands guarantor for various other Brits who would be connected with the trade in India. His business interest had made him a rich man and in 1819 he purchased the thirty room Bloomfield Hall (now demolished) in surrey, which housed his impressive art collection. His art collection, long dispersed, included such names as Rubens, Holbein and Vaelazquez.The business of Hamilton & Co would not only survive but thrive having three branches. The original branch in Calcutta (1811 – 1971) followed by those in Bombay (originally opened in 1830) and Simla (opened 1865). The partnership has many changes in partners which show the movement of makers, people and business throughout the century with there being no fewer than thirty different incarnations of partners between 1811 and 1947!They were a business with vision and not only are making the standard silver wares but also are recorded importing items from Rundell Bridge & Rundell in London, no doubt large and impressive pieces. They also are likely the main producer of flatware in India as have imported a ‘powerful English stamping press’ which allows them to produce the much more elaborate die struck flatware patterns than their competitors.Their success does not just lie in importing and replicating English silver as in 1838 they announce their invention of a ‘Toffee’ pot. Not perhaps a long-lived invention, and perhaps one over looked now, of a combination tea and coffee pot.As with William Honey Twentyman their marks for many years were confused with those of Scottish makers. In early publications they are often seen in the Inverness section as the elephant punch was mistaken for an Inverness town mark. Not as fanciful as it may seem being the camel supporter had been used as mark earlier in the century so why not the armorials other supporter, the elephant, used in the same way. It is believed that this pair was designed to be stored in the servant’s sash.
