R. L. Henry – Gold

Small slider pencil; perhaps solid gold as no visible wear. Working condition and no damage. Richard Leowe Henry (Budge-Row, Watling Street, London, was listed in 1848 as an Importer and Dealer in Foreign snd British Fancy Goods, and another entry I found referenced him as a “Foreign Warehouseman”, with another business located in Brimingham in 1849, with an Edward Henry (brother?). Richard Leowe Henry also shows up in the 1882 Commercial Directory as a Wholesale Jeweller at 11 Hatton Garden.
