T. F. and J. H. Braime Ltd. of Hunslett, Leeds.
1888 Braime Pressings was founded by Thomas Fletcher Braime and was later joined by James Henry Braime. The company operated out of small premises in Hunslet Leeds, initially producing small pressings with a flypress and fabricating the Braime Oil Can.
Braime’s steel oil cans became world renowned bringing orders from Adelaide, Melbourne, Rio de Janeiro, and Newfoundland and the business quickly grew. The rise of the motoring industry increased demand for metal pressings and soon larger premises were needed.
