The Thomas Bradbury & Sons firm was first established in Sheffield as cutlers in 1736, under the name Matthew Fenton & Co. Later the company became silversmiths and Sheffield platers and registered their mark at the opening of the Sheffield Assay Office, and in 1795 the business was sold to Thomas Watson who was joined by Thomas Bradbury. The firm became Thomas Bradbury & Son in 1831, Thomas Bradbury & Sons in 1855, and finally Thomas Bradbury & Sons Ltd in 1905. Their dies were acquired by Atkin Brothers in 1943, and the company was closed down for good.
