Bits & Pieces
A few pieces which don't have a better home yet...
A clock made by Samuel J Hollyer. I haven't identified who he was.
Watchmaker?
This rather ordinary looking watch has a most interesting movement. The central motif features Nelson and the movement is engraved Anna Maria Hollyer Coventry 1807. When it was auctioned it was said that 1807 was the movement number, not the date and that the hallmark suggested a date of 1854. However, Ann Maria Hollyer of Coventry was born in 1784 in Coventry and died in Islington, London, in 1848. Could Anna Maria really have been the watchmaker?
Hill & Hollyer
I think this is a patent razor.
Pianos
Coventry & Hollier were music publishers, but this suggests they also made pianos.
Phonograph Shop
J Hollier's Phonograph shop in Bedminster, Bristol, in 1909.
