Elliott Brothers Instruments Set

$292.50

A unique collectible from the Victorian era in England.  This is an Elliot Brothers charting instruments set in a mahogany wood box which belonged to G.B. Chalon.  His name appears on a small plaque on the box and on some of the instruments inside.  The instrument set which was used either for nautical map charting, mathematics or engineering drawing includes what we think are all of the original items with a lift out tray.  This charting set includes ivory handles on some of the instruments especially the protractor (ruler) which is all in ivory.  The ivory protractor, marked: Elliot 449 Strand London, is therefore presumably made after the company moved to their Strand St. location in about 1867.  The two slots in the protractor were for a ribbon so that the naval officer or other user could wear it round his neck.

This is a fantastic antique Victorian era collectible for those who love scientific or nautical/naval/maritime items.

Dimension: 19 cm x 9.5 cm (7.48 inches x 3.74 inches)

Description

The Elliot Brothers company

William Elliott established his own first business at Tash Court in about 1804.  In 1854 his two sons, Frederick Henry Elliott and Charles Alfred Elliott, took over the company after their father’s death a year earlier and were renamed the company: Elliott Bros in London.  The company produced electrical instruments and measuring and surveying devices which played an early role in the development of computers in the United Kingdom as well as the expansion of the railroad system.  In 1867 they exhibited at the 1867 Paris Exhibition under the name ‘Elliott, Brothers, 449, Strand, London.— Mathematical, optical, and philosophical instruments.  The company was aquired later in the 20th century by BAE systems, one of the largest defense and aviation companies in the world.
