The following lots (350-356) were rescued from the bombed out premises of Parkinsham & Frodsham in 5, Budge Row. The shop was in fact bombed twice before but the third time the dammage was beyond repair. It was being run by Geoffrey Charles Harris, the husband of the present owner. He was able to rescue some of the stock and indeed some of the lots offered still show some of signs of the bomb dammage. Harris continued to work for some time from his home in 6 Redstone Road, Hornsey but the address of the firm was still 5, Budge Row. He received #135 for the war dammage.
Parkinson & Frodsham ceased to exist in 1947.
An Edwardian barograph signed Parkinson & Frodsham 5, Budge Row on a plaque beside the lacquered brass mechanism with thermometer mounted in a glazed mahogany case with card draw containing a quantity of suitable cards
