TRESCO Flower Set   Pictured below is a page from a catalogue of a company called CLAYTON MAYERS & CO. LTD. The exact date of this catalogue is unknown however as the prices are shown in schilling and pence, we can determine it is before the 15th February 1971 as this is when Britain changed their currency to decimal.   The catalogue pictures above have been kindly sent to me by a collector from Scotland. The following information has been obtained from the Graces Guide to British Industrial History Web Page and I quote:- CLAYTON MAYERS & CO. LTD. Grays Inn Road London. The company was selling the glass of Davidson, Moor and Baccarat along with glass from other makers. By 1923 they were selling a wide range of glassware from the UK, Czechoslovakia, Norway and Belgium Neil Cooper
