Thomas James Boyd
Gun & Pistol Manufacturer
Limerick.
A trade label for Thomas James Boyd, Limerick.
1840-c.1846.
A combination copperplate engraved and printed trade label
possibly originating from the early 1820’s when Boyd first entered the
gunmaking business. The above label having the address and text updated in 1840
when Boyd moved to 25 Patrick
Street, Limerick.
A previously found trade label for Boyd contained within a cased
pair of duelling pistols by John Silk and converted by Thomas James Boyd, 15 Rutland Street is
the same design but the text has been updated when Boyd moved premises and relisted
his products and services.
We are always keen to buy original gunmakers trade cards/labels especially those of Irish gunmakers.
