ORIGINAL 1890s–1907 PAINT & VARNISH TRADE LETTERHEADS – SMITH, POWERS & REINEMANN

A small group of original late-Victorian / Edwardian trade correspondence sent to

Mr H. Whiting, painter and decorator of Norwich.

Includes:

• Smith, Powers & Co., Priory Works, Coventry – ornate printed postcard-style notice with superb engraved border and trade crest (Varnish, Paint & Colour Manufacturers).

• Reinemann & Co., London, 1907 – typed letterhead for bronze-powder, gold-leaf and metal-leaf manufacturers, with decorative header and London EC address.

Both items clean for age with light wear. Lovely examples of early British industrial design and printing.

Ideal for: ephemera collectors • paint & varnish history • Coventry & London trade • printers and graphic design reference.
