On Faulkner’s retirement in 1904, the firm was reconstituted as Jesson, Birkett & Co. Ltd. who continued to produce the Faulkner products, and a number of these were then taken over by A. E. Jones, who worked closely with Jesson, Birkett. Examples of this plaque are now rare. It is not known whether this one was made by Faulkners, by Jesson, Birkett, or by A .E. Jones.
