Di, I wonder if the E.Coaney & Co., shop in the photo was the forerunner of Coaneys who hired out crockery and utensils for functions.

I don't know Sylvia, but it's such an unusual name there has to be some connection.

In a slightly later Kelly's E Coaneys is listed as a Glass & Bottle Maker at 88 Moor St......There is also E Coaneys listed as a Glass & Bottle Maker at 39 Dale End. The sign above the shop with Coaney on also has a pointing finger!

Number 45 Dale end is a clothier and the picture states the window is full of sox

Sylvia it might be that the company or or family member went on to do as you say. O0

I'm glad you were able to solve the puzzle Rod.

I have discovered this lovely picture in amongst my 'bits', I am assuming it is the picture being discussed on this thread.

I have a table knife of unusual design from E. Coaney and Co. Ltd, Dale End, Birmingham. When I was a boy in the 1950s this was my 'personal' knife. I don't know how we came to have it, and I've never come across another one like it.

I know this post is probably too late but just to say that Coaney’s in Dale End was owned by my grandfather Frank Stanford (who also owned Stanford and Mann’s in New Street, stationers and printers) and was run by my mother during the 1950s. It supplied crockery and kitchen utensils to hotels and even cross-channel ferries. I remember as a child, using a sand-blaster to blast “Mitchell & Butler” on glass beer mugs. It moved to Paradise Street I think in the 60s.

This, from memory is a fruit knife. Fruit and fish dining knives were not usually very sharp.
