1862 London Exhibition: Catalogue: Class VIII.: Webb and Son
2017. WEBB and SON, Comb's Tannery, Stowmarket, Suffolk; London office, 11 Leadenhall Street, Mr. R. Pearce, Manager.
Leather; machine bands, buckets, and hose; glovers' leather, etc.
These machine bands are cut from level, and carefully selected oak-bark tanned English hides, and are manufactured throughout, to ensure a strength and durability which proves most satisfactory in all climates. The workmanship in single, double, and edged bands, is of the strongest description, and well adapted for heavy work. They arc all thoroughly stretched by powerful machinery.
Considering the quality and price, these are the cheapest bands now manufactured.
The leather hose, buckets, rope, and thongs, are all of the best description.
The sole butts, glove and gaiter leather, calf skins and horse hides, both rough and dressed, with many other descriptions of leather, are tanned and manufactured upon the most improved principles by the exhibitors, who will forward prices and full particulars on application.
