They went on to open premises in Sheffield in 1900 and changed their name to the Alexander Company Ltd in 1912 and started manufacturing in Birmingham in 1918 after the First World War. In its heyday between 1894 and 1918 it had three separate premises in London in Market Place, Oxford Street and Fenchurch Street., employing 620 people by 1914. In 1921 it moved its London premises to Aldgate and finally to Leadenhall Street in 1941. In a catalogue of 1912, they advertised reproduction historical pieces including a Henry VIII ‘Tudor Bowl’, a Tudor Cup, an antique jug modelled after a piece found in the excavations at Pompeii and an 1496 Medieval Beaker. They produced their own brand of silverplate called ‘Welbeck’ and this is marked on their pieces. They later went on to produce stainless steel flatware in Sheffield and kept the name into the 1940s.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eCountry\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003e: London, England. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003ePeriod\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003e: Late Victorian, 1894.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003e: Alexander Clark.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eMaterials\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003e: Solid sterling Silver and gilt.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003e: 190.5 Grams, (122.15 Dwt).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003e: H. 134 mm by L. 77.5 mm by D. 27 mm (5.25 x 3.05 x 1.06 Inches).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003eHallmarks\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif;\"\u003e: Stamped with British marks for the city of \u003cb\u003eLondon\u003c\/b\u003e, the maker's mark \u003cb\u003eAC\u003c\/b\u003e associated to \u003cb\u003eAlexander Clark\u003c\/b\u003e, the mark for the assay and warranty of the .925\/.999 silver, the letter \u003cb\u003eT\u003c\/b\u003e for the date code 1894 and signed in full as follows; \"\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eALEXANDER CLARK MAKER 138 FENCHURCH ST.
