    John Rabone & Sons of Hockley rulers tapes and tools

    Hello, casey. Just joined the thread... I have a photo with David Burns among the employees: "Current employees with 40 yrs or more service in 1984" (pp 18/19 from Douglas Hallam's superb book The First 200 years). Hope it's of interest.

    John Rabone & Sons of Hockley rulers tapes and tools

    Just joined the group and saw this... I'll be too late for the auction but it should have fetched a great deal. It is pre 1877. After that date the name changed to John Rabone & Sons (plural) because Harry and Arthur had joined their father John (jnr). Very interesting thread this.
