It was around this time that they purchased the patent for electroplating (silver plating) and their business flourished greatly from their newfound skills. The company operated as Elkington, Mason & Co. until 1861 when the partnership with Mason was terminated. The firm operated independently as Elkington & Co. from 1861 until 1963. It was then taken over by British Silverware Ltd. In 1971 British Silverware, Ltd. became a subsidiary of Delta Metal Co. Ltd. To My Knowledge, It No Longer Exists. Over the course of its 130-year history it became very successful and was one of the prime producers of sterling & silver plated wares.
