The road ahead... #stats

One of the many great things about the National Records of Scotland is that they are all online. At least "all" meaning those that have survived "hunners" of years of history, wars, weather and social change.

Wales & McCulloch

I came across this clock key for sale on eBay apparently for a clock manufactured by "Wales & McCulloch". They seemed to be a London-based firm with a shop at 20 Ludgate Hill. I haven't yet managed to track down who this McCulloch was or where he came from so it's still an unsolved mystery! Any further information about Wales & McCulloch would be gratefully received. And yes.. I did buy the key :) Edit: Aug 2021 Added a few other beautiful items found online, retailed by Wales & McCulloch: Pair of antique silver caviar trays in original box retailed by Wales & McCulloch A yellow metal Egyptian style brooch, with scarab beetle type insert in fitted case for Wales and McCulloch A mahogany clock by Wales & McCulloch Edit: June 2023 I found a photograph of their retail premises at Ludgate Hill, dated 3rd June 1906: Looking east down Ludgate Hill towards St Paul's Cathedral. Wales & McCulloch's retail premises can be seen on the far left,

MacCullochs of Plaidis, Rossshire (McCulloch Motors)

This branch, known as MacCulloch of Plaidis, Rossshire, are the ancestors of the family who founded the McCulloch Motors Corporation in Wisconsin, USA.

Let’s take a closer look at this extraordinary man and the company he created. Early Enterprises Robert Paxton McCulloch was born on May 11, 1911, in Missouri, as the second child of three. In 1925 Robert and his siblings inherited a fortune from their late grandfather , who, among other things, had worked for Thomas Edison, implementing his power plants all over the world.

William McCulloch, Maybole

Here's another "accidental" eBay purchase to share with you. Originally I assumed it was the same firm but now I'm not so sure. This William McCulloch having his firm in Maybole, South Ayrshire, Scotland. I do love it and wonder if there can be many others like it given it was probably used like a business card or advertising flyer. Any information greatly received especially if this is the same McCulloch from "Wales & McCulloch" in London. Edit: June 2023 I found more examples of this item, apparently they are "service discs" which I'm assuming would be included when you had your watch serviced.
