This item is solid brass and is a mold to make suppositories/pessaries. The instrument is of two separate halves, with twelve cavities, and stamped with “S. MAW, SON & THOMPSON, LONDON” as well as “1/2 DRAM”. Circa mid-19th century. Measures approximately 7.5” x 1” x 0.75” when closed.

The Maw’s firm had its origins with George Maw, who, in 1807 started a partnership with his wife’s cousin Hornby in Fenchurch Street. In 1814, George purchased the business of a surgical instrument maker in Whitecross Street. In 1825, he moved to 56 Aldersgate Street, and his sons John Hornby and Solomon joined the company. George retired in 1829 and the firm moved again in 1834 to 11 Aldersgate Street, under the leadership of his son Solomon. Solomon’s son Charles joined the company in 1860, and the firm became S. Maw and Son. Sometime in the 1870s, the firm became S. Maw, Son & Thompson. In the very early 1900s, John Thomson retired, and the firm was renamed to S Maw, Son & Sons. In 1940, the firm was again renamed to Maws Pharmacy Supplies Limited, and moved to Monken Hadley, Barnet, England.  [jet][ph:L]
