Atkin Brothers were Sheffield Silversmiths. The brothers were Harry Wright Atkin (1828-1896), Edward Thomas Atkin (1832-1907), and Frank Shaw Atkin (1837-1901). They were the sons of Henry Atkin. Trade catalogues date the business from 1750, though this probably refers to Henry’s activities. In 1853, his sons registered a silver mark as Atkin Bros and occupied Truro Works, Matilda Street. Their catalogues show a vast collection of cutlery, tableward and domestic items of very good quality, both in silver and silver plate.
