British. C. 1884. The format of the company name (Barclay, Curle & Co. Ltd.) reveals it to be established in Glasgow in 1884. Plaques like this were often attached on the outside of a corporate office, evidenced by the use of brass, which, unlike other materials, is durable and can withstand exposure to various elements.
