Re: Some Birmingham Information and Advertisements
A deputation from Birmingham waited upon Prince Albert, May 28, 1845, at Buckingham Palace, for the purpose of appealing to Her Majesty, through His Royal Highness, to take into gracious consideration the then depressed condition of the operative jewellers of Birmingham, and entreating the Queen and Prince to set the example of wearing British jewellery on such occasions and to such an extent as might meet the royal approval. The deputation took with them as presents for the Queen, an armlet, a brooch, a pair of ear-rings, and a buckle for the waist; for the Prince Consort a watch-chain, seal, and key, the value of the whole being over 400 guineas. The armlet (described by good judges as the most splendid thing ever produced in the town) brooch, ear-rings, chain and key were made by Mr. Thomas Aston, Regent's Place; the buckle and seal (designed from the Warwick vase) by Mr. Baleny, St. Paul's Square. It was stated by the deputation that 5,000 families were dependent on the jewellery trades in Birmingham.

FRANK HAWKER Ltd. - CARPATHION SILVER Co.
Argosy Works, Branston Street, later, Argosy Works, 52-54, Spencer Street, Birmingham
CARPATHIAN SILVER WARE - Mr. Frank Hawker, Argosy Works, Branston Street, Birmingham, has recently introduced a new design in Carpathian silver waiters, an illustration of which we give herewith. The waiter is fitted with white metal handles, and forms a very serviceable and elegant article either for the household, or for use in hotels and other establishments of that character. We have referred to the advantages of Carpathian silver ware on, previous occasions, and the large number of designs in which the metal is used for manufacturing waiters, ash trays, and other articles for the table have made it very popular among users. Unlike other base metals it does not tarnish, and is not affected by standing hot water jugs on it.
It lends itself admirably to artistic treatment, and some of the designs we have seen from time to time are exceedingly pretty. The metal wears white throughout, and always looks bright and clean. As an article for export, Carpathian silver ware can be specially recommended. The goods are turned out at a very cheap rate and dealers in this class of ware will find them effective for display purposes, and suitable for stocking.
