Charles Weekes & Co..
Gun, Rifle, Revolver & Fishing Tackle Manufacturer.
Dublin
Letterheading for Charles Weekes & Co.. c.1897.
This letterheading states that the Weekes name had been connected with the gun trade for "Nearly a century". Existing information indicates John Weekes & Son (Charles) were trading by 1859 and John Weekes could have been in the trade prior to his son entering the business? Alternatively John Weekes could have bought out a gunmaker who had commenced business in c.1800 and utilised this established date as was the fashion at this time.

Hi I have been tracing this firm myself but regards the fishing tackle side, can you confirm the date of C1897 for this letterheading as my directory hits are only showing the duel 26 & 27 address for 1907-1910
