<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Poppies, post: 9899077, member: 84318&quot;]I found this about Phelps and Evington:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Phelps worked for the firm of John Holgate and Co., which specialised in selling modern oil lamps following the introduction of the &#039;moderator&#039; lamp in 1836. Since 1858 the firm was located at 20, St. Mary&#039;s Gate, Manchester. Along with his business partner, Samuel Dixon Evington, Phelps purchased the company in 1890, renaming it Phelps and Evington in 1894. The company imported and sold fuel and sold lamp goods, brass and copper fancy goods and bicycle accessories. Phelps sold his share of the business to Evington in 1905.&quot;</p><p><a href="https://archiveshub.jisc.ac.uk/search/archives/9afe8927-d46e-3c32-9da1-3daeb632d45a" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://archiveshub.jisc.ac.uk/search/archives/9afe8927-d46e-3c32-9da1-3daeb632d45a" rel="nofollow">https://archiveshub.jisc.ac.uk/search/archives/9afe8927-d46e-3c32-9da1-3daeb632d45a</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is another piece with also with adjusting knob inscribed &#039;Phelps &amp; Evington: </p><p><a href="https://live.adampartridge.co.uk/m/lot-details/index/catalog/7/lot/9389?url=%2Fm%2Fview-auctions%2Fcatalog%2Fid%2F7%3Fcat%3D39%26view%3Dlist" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://live.adampartridge.co.uk/m/lot-details/index/catalog/7/lot/9389?url=%2Fm%2Fview-auctions%2Fcatalog%2Fid%2F7%3Fcat%3D39%26view%3Dlist" rel="nofollow">https://live.adampartridge.co.uk/m/lot-details/index/catalog/7/lot/9389?url=/m/view-auctions/catalog/id/7?cat=39&amp;view=list</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
