Purchased this envelope off Ebay last week, just because it is a Small Heath address, postmarked 1940.
Imagine my suprise to find the Company is still going, and still in Herbert Road, albeit with new owners who have kept the trading name.

The stamp is interesting; never seen that one before (used to collect when I was a schoolboy). Being a wartime issue, you'd have thought that they'd be saving on everything, including stamp paper.

"Illston" started at that address in 1903 on his own. Rollins joined him sometime between 1903 and 1915
