This is a fascinating read I came apon it because I found a large quantity of Crowden and Keeves branded pencils while emptying my late mothers house- no idea where they came from. I use them all the time, they are a quality item.

I used to work for Crowden & Keeves in 1968 as an Invoice typist, one of the best jobs I ever had.

When I did home economics in high school we used the patent wire soap saver.

Absolutely brilliant! I live in the old Crowden and Keeves factory on Calvert Avenue/ Boundary Street and really appreciate being able to put the building into context with its manufacturing history. More power to your keyboard, Gentle Author!

Wonderful – all those things you never knew you needed! So much more exciting than The Lakeland catalogue.

What an emporium! I’ve seen it all now, vulture and skunk dusters!

Yep, just checked on my flour bin (used to be my mother’s) and it fits the descriptions above. And, oh for a muffineer! What a brilliant stroll through a world of many long-forgotten domestic items – it reminded me of visiting my grandmother’s house. I could almost hear the jingle of the brass drawer handles of her sideboard.
