MARKS - HALLMARKS - HISTORY
Scarce information is available about this family business active in Sheffield from late 19th century until early 20th century.
Maurice Baum was active at Albert Works, 189-191 Norfolk St (1884-1900) and Mowbray St, Sheffield (1901-1904).
Sterling silver hallmarks were entered in Sheffield Assay Office in 1884 and 1893.
Maurice Baum (born 1848) died in 1894, but the firm survived his death (managed, presumably, by his widow Rachel as in 1899 the 'MB' hallmark continued to be present in sterling silver knives) until was succeeded by his young sons Louis (c.1876-1950) and David Baum (1877-1951), acting as Baum Brothers (c.1904).
Baum Brothers were active at 40 Nursery Street (1905), 154 Meadow Head, Woodseats.
In 1911 the firm used in its knives (with silverplate blade) sterling silver ferrules supplied by J.A. Scholes of Monmouth Street, Sheffield.
The firm was converted into a limited liability company as Baum Brothers (Sheffield) Ltd and, managed by David Baum director and chairman, went in voluntary liquidation in 1925.
The firm used the trade mark SILVERINE
