MARKS - HALLMARKS - HISTORY

The business Levi and Salaman was founded in Birmingham in 1870 by Phineas Harris Levi in partnership with Joseph Wolff Salaman.
The firm was active at Northampton Street until c. 1872 when the business was transferred to larger premises at Hockley Street continuing the manufacture of silver jewellery.
In 1878 the firm bought Potosi Silver, a small manufacturer of silverplate spoons and forks. The production had great success and in 1885 the activity was transferred to new buildings in Newhall Street (Potosi Works).
P.H. Levi died in 1910 and the firm was converted into a limited liability company as Levi & Salaman Ltd. The first directors were Joseph Wolff Salaman, Clive Joseph Levi (son of P.H. Levi) and Lewis Henry Salaman. Potosi Silver Co was their subsidiary firm.
Both were amalgamated in 1921 with Barker Brothers (Silversmiths) Ltd.
Levi & Salaman and Potosi Silver Co production line comprised dozens of products including a wide array of souvenir novelties and souvenir spoons.
