The body, lid, train and track all with marrying hallmarks for Walker & Hall, Sheffield 1948, 35cms wide x 19.5cms high x 15cms deep The box comes with a specially built carry-case with gilded lettering 'HV'. Background: Hugh Vivian was a member of the industrialist Vivian family of Swansea - the most notable descendant being Richard Glynn Vivian, founder of the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery. Hugh Vivian was Managing Director of Vivian & Sons Ltd, a Swansea Valley metals and chemicals company originally operating from Hafod Smelting Works & Mills. At one time in the nineteenth century, production from the site represented a quarter of the entire UK copper trade. Vivian & Sons traded from 1810 until 1924 when they then merged with two other Swansea companies to form British Copper Manufacturers Ltd. In 1928 the company was then absorbed by the conglomerate ICI and copper continued to be rolled from the Swansea sites until 1980. In 1923, under Hugh Vivian's directorship, the company ordered the first Garratt locomotive from Beyer-Peacock for British industrial service. Vivian later became Chairman of Beyer Peacock from 1937 to 1949 The Garratt-locomotive, developed by Herbert William Garratt, was a steam-locomotive that was articulated into three parts with the boiler mounted on the centre frame and twin steam engines on separate frames - one on each end of the boiler. The enhanced articulation enabled the trains to negotiate curves easier where larger rigid-framed locomotives would struggle. The Garratt-locomotives were built by Beyer Peacock and commissions were gained across the world, most notably in Africa, Australia and USSR. Provenance: the box was purchased by the present vendor in the 1970s at an auction of Hugh Vivian's chattels after his death. Included with the item is a luncheon menu commemorating Hugh Vivian Esq and his involvement with Beyer Peacock and the commissioning of the aforementioned engine, held at The Dorchester Hotel, London on May 10th 1949 Condition Report: complete without any notable bumps or dints, slight surface scratches, excellent well-looked after piece.
