Charles Cartwright & Sons: clockmakers

Came across this invoice from Charles Cartwright & Sons dated 1893 for sale on Ebay.

From 1846-1866 Charles Cartwright & Sons operated from 22 Edgbaston Street. By 1875 [advert] there was a showroom and warehouse at no 15. By 1869 a subsidery company was operating from Cumberland Street which was later rebuilt and expanded as the Atlantic Clock Works.

Cartwrights also imported/exported clocks, watches, musical boxes and similar. I can’t trace anything on their later history apart from a reference that they were later involved in making bedsteads!
