Trulock & Son
Gunmakers
152 Capel Street
Dublin
The above Trulock & Son trade label was used for the period 1823-1832. In the February of 1832 Trulock & Son moved premises to 9 Dawson Street where they were to remain until the closure of the business in 1915. However, the business went through a number of name changes.
Interestingly, Trulock & Son maintained this same format of trade label following the move and merely changed the bottom line address to 9 Dawson Street. In the Trade Directories for this period they were listed as; Trulock, William & Son until Williams death in 1842 when they became E. Trulock & Son. (Elizabeth, Widow) for the period 1843-1853.
So synonymous with the Dublin guntrade were Trulock & Harriss. They traded 1854-1897.
The final name change came in 1897 when Richardson entered the business. (Trulock, Harriss & Richardson). This was a difficult time in the Dublin guntrade and 1898 saw the incorporation of John Rigby & Co.. into the T.H.& R business.
