Goldsmiths & Silversmiths Co Ltd (G&S) was a High Street jeweller with Royal Appointments which was set up by William Gibson in London in 1880. They were situated in Regent Street, London W1. They amalgamated with the Crown Jewellers, Garrards in 1952. There are advertisements in the Illustrated News for the years 1887 and1889. There are probably other issues where they place advertisements as well. In 1909, The Sporting L:ife commissioned a trophy made by the Goldsmiths and Silversmiths company. The cost was £500 which would be around £50,000 today. It is 4 feet 9 inches high and requires several people to lift.
