George Betjeman & Sons were perhaps the largest fancy goods manufacturers in the world at the end of the 19th and start of the 20th centuries. Supplying luxury goods traders such as Asprey, it is stated (The Stationery Trades Journal, 31st January 1894) `that Betjeman`s is one of the few firms possessing the necessary machinery for putting a log of wood in at one end of the factory and turning it out as a highly-finished dressing case at the other, every portion of it being manufactured by them`. Their large works in Pentonville Road (noted by a scion of the family, the late poet laureate Sir John Betjeman, in his blank verse autobiography `Summoned by Bells`) is listed as making a bewildering array of objects, often desk and dressing table accessories, including in 1879: blotting books, inkstands and letter balances.
