The Atkin Brothers consisted of Henry, Edward and Frank. They took over their father’s, Henry Atkin’s Spoon Making Company, on his death. The Atkin Brothers produced a variety of good quality items in silver and silver plate. The initials of the brothers were used on plated ware from 1853 to 1958. They had a retail outlet in London, where they also entered silver marks. The firm was taken over by C J Vander, in 1958. Flatware bearing their maker’s mark is generally Sheffield marked, well made and in the traditional patterns
