Brush Factory in Cam
I'd like to ask if anyone knows of a brush factory in Cam which must date back about 100 years or more. I have a clothes brush which is in perfect condition and bears the title "WORKMAN Bros. Ltd. Cam. Glos." This brush was in my grandmother's possession and I have an idea that she was somehow connected or related to the maker. As I am now 83 years old, the brush is probably 100 years old or more. Can anyone kindly shed some light on who Workman Bros. were? Thanks. Dick Best. Fiji. S. Pacific
