Now you can revive the brand and start your own watch company!

Turpin Brothers.. watch shop in Finsbury
Are you sure they weren't just a fence for their musket wielding uncle "Dick" ;-)

That's great!
I just bought some 19th century invoices from an old family owned business. These are random paid invoices for various household goods, but on named paper receipts. Always fun to see what you can find on eBay with your name on it.

My little sis has been doing some family history research and found that our great grandfather and his brothers had a watchmakers business, Turpin Brothers, in Finsbury (and later Islington) and she just found this for sale. Not a particularly expensive one but it’s part of our family history. It’s now back in the family fold.
