ALPHABETICAL LIST OF MAKERS  BY  LAST  NAME  
Below each, in Italic type, is the  WHT  ABBREVIATION . 

[ ] = No. of a mould containing information or other sources, mostly Mr Stalling's papers.  I have used abbreviations, sometimes  one for more than one word , to save space on my one- page record for each mold - eg "st" for "stamped" or  "street" depending on the context. Many abbreviations are listed. But my computer over several generations has swallowed several hundred photos, changed type and spacing so much that the list must be edited for legibility as this list has been and that must wait for another time. Mr. Stalling's papers are not available for general access yet either.

Benham & Froud (description below is from a John Hardcastle Jonof 2005 internet article)
We all know Benham and the fabulous copper cookware and jelly molds (Moulds) they made but the company was known for everything from world famous beetle traps to repairing Winston Churchill’s heating radiators! They made or supplied windows, furniture, refrigerators, boilers, Chinese gongs, roofs, and weather vanes.
To trace the history we have to go back as far as 1785 when John Kepp founded a company in Chandos Street London where he was a coppersmith and brazier. Here, he started to make the culinary copper that we collect today, but most of the (unmarked) goods are very rare and almost impossible to attribute. Then sometime around 1818 the company was taken over by Richard and Edward Kepp (sons I guess).
At this point we will discuss the orb and cross mark found on many of Benham’s pieces. The orb and cross on the top of St Paul’s Cathedral was made by the Kepp brothers while at Chandos street and below is text taken from the St Paul’s Cathedral website;
‘The original ball and cross were erected by Andrew Niblett, Citizen and Armourer of London, in 1708. They were replaced by a new ball and cross in 1821 designed by the Surveyor to the Fabric, CR Cockerell and executed by R and E Kepp. The ball and cross stand at 23 feet high and weigh approximately 7 tonnes. For safety reasons visitors are no longer admitted to the interior of the ball.’
So we know that ‘Benham’ or if you like the Kepp brothers did make this but we think it was not used as a trade mark for the company until 1855 when the Kepp era ended and the company became known as Benhams & Froud. I can confirm that the parties were Augustus Benham and Joseph William Froud. They continued to make the same ranges of items but expanded the lines At this time they did exhibit their works in Paris at a large exhibition and in London in 1862. In the mid 1860’s the company became Benham and Froud and became a limited company in 1885. At this time the directors were Herbert Augustus Benham, Joseph Froud, and 4 others but no other Benhams or Frouds. This company traded successfully until 1906 when it was dissolved and reformed as Herbert Benham & Co. Herbert was a director at Benham & Froud. At this time the company moved to temporary offices in Willesden Junction and in 1908 moved to Great Marlborough Mews, where they were known as Herber Benham & Son. In 1920 they moved to 4 Ramillies Place and the trail goes cold in 1924.
Benham & Sons Ltd
From 1855 to 1924 the orb & cross was used as the trademark of Benham & Froud but there has been another mark, that of a belt or garter with Benham & Sons Wigmore Street London W. There has been some speculation that this mark was for a company that was not related to our main concern of B & F. To this end I have found the company records of Benham & Sons Ltd of Wigmore Street London. The company was formed in the 1870’s but I have found the company documents when it became Limited in 1892. Apart from the similar names, there seems to be no connection to Benham & Froud. I have already listed the directors of B & F and here are the directors of Benham & Sons Ltd,
Fredrick Lucas Benham
Percy Benham
Samuel Lithgow
Walter Benham
Arthur Benham
B Chandler
This company and its works in Wigmore Street did make very similar products to B & F and the quality was of a comparable standard. I am yet to find a trade catalogue for this company to see their complete range but I don’t think they made any molds. If there are any molds with this mark I think these would have been bought from B & F. The company finally closed in 1907. Until I find evidence of any tie up between the companies I will now offer that the two companies were not connected.
What did B & F make?
We know that the brazier in Chandos street was a very busy place and they made a wide range of goods, but they could not and did not make everything they sold. I have copies of catalogues from Gaillard of Paris showing their range of molds and we have had examples of these with the B&F orb and cross mark. I would like to find more about the possibility of Benham contracting the making of molds out to Sykes of Sheffield, Sykes were big coppersmiths that made items to do with the military & guns. After the production of copper powder flasks ended after the issue of cartridges for rifles and not muzzle loaders, there was an excess of skilled labor in the north east of England and I am sure that Sykes made molds not only for B & F but all the Ironmongers around England. We do see molds and pots and pans etc. with a number of marks on; the orb & cross and maybe Jones or Adams. This is because Benham or Sykes supplied these companies as well. So we can safely say that as well as making their own goods, Benham did buy in some goods and supply other ironmongers.
Benham supplied a number of famous people or institutions but a few are, Queen Victoria, Scott of the Antarctic, Winston Churchill, Harrods and the reform club. It would also be useful to mention that Christopher Dresser (1834-1904) did design for the company between 1873-1893.
It goes without saying that Benham was a fine maker of all things but especially copper cookware and molds and in our monthly feature, we will bring you a series of articles on this cookware, how to use it, what you should look for and when it is safe to use.
It would be impossible to try and list or show you all of the pieces that Benham made but to start the ball rolling below is a series of photos of a selection of the Benham marked pieces we have had. If you assume that 98% of the pieces have the orb and cross mark this will be about right. There are 130 items here and if you have good quality images of other Benham pieces please forward them to us and we will add them to the list.
