Stuart0742 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Thanks UKL. Very Off topic I know, but the enamel sign above the Middlewood pet stores, 'Spratt's Bonio' is quite old. Not sure when the Bonio name was first used (may have been mid 50's) but the American James Spratt goes back to 1860. In 1860 when James Spratt took a sea voyage to England his purpose was to sell lightning conductors to the British. But, by the time he returned home, he had embarked on a new career. The turning point in James Spratt's life - and in the lives of countless millions of pets - came when his ship docked in England. His attention was caught by the sight of dogs scavenging for discarded ships' biscuits on the quay side. James Spratt, in that moment, saw the need for specially prepared food for animals and turned his efforts to the production of dog biscuits. Early Customers were English country gentlemen who bought for their sporting dogs. Spratt’s Patent, Limited, an English public company, was registered in 1885 to continue the business founded by James Spratt. I see another "challenge type" topic coming up here Enamel Signs on Sheffield buildings. We have got one somewhere about painted signs I am currently in Reims in france so can't get out into Sheffield with my camera ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
