Trading in Sheffield about 1868 from 5 West Bar, in succession to his father George, this gunmaker was also a member of the London gun tradelisted at 20 Regent Street in 1878-82 and again from 1884 until 1900 or later. The trading style changed to Maleham & Company in the early 1900's but was sold to Arthur Turner shortly after WWI and ceased operating under it own name. In addition to sporting guns and rifles, a variety of Eley-made shotgun cartridges has been reported. Brandnames included The Clay Bird, The Double Wing, The Regent, The Steeltown and The Wing. A trademark was also popular, comprising six shot-holes around a central seventh, with a heraldic pinion or wing extending from each side. Still an excellent piece for the collection.
