The firm was managed by Frank Tomlinson, manufacturing electro-plated and stainless table cutlery, flatware, and scissors. Its trade marks were ‘CRUSADE’, ‘ROCKINGHAM’, and ‘MORBRO’, acquired from other firms. In the 1960s, the company moved to Australian Works, Malinda Street and was dissolved in 2004.
