John Frodsham & Son
John Frodsham operated a separate branch of the Frodsham pocket watchmaking dynasty as John Frodsham & Son.  He took his nephew George Edward into the firm and after the death of the son/brother figures in the late 1840’s, George Edward took over, transitioning the company through names like Frodsham Son & Co. and Frodsham & Baker before operating as George E. Frodsham until 1901.

Signed: Frodsham Grace Church Street, London
