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.

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
