Kay brothers history below

 

1786 by Ollive Sims. Partnership Successions: (1) Sims and Shaw; (2) A. H. Shaw; (3) Hornby and Sons; (4) S. & T. Kay; (5) Kay Brothers. Incorporated as a Limited Company in 1887.

 

1914 Directors: Samuel Kay, Thomas Kay, S. Vernon Kay, George A. Shaw, and Edward Hardcastle. One of the oldest firms in the trade. Staff: About 200.

 

1865 Company established. Known for Coaguline Cement

 

WWII. As there were little or no anti-tank weapons, the company was asked to make the 74 S.T. Grenade or Sticky Bomb. This was a glass globe containing explosive, with a handle which enabled it to be thrown, and covered with a woollen knitted jacket coated with adhesive. A thin steel case went on the outside, held in place by a spring.

 

Kay Brothers were known for Coaguline Cement so they were approached to develop the adhesive for wartime use. The company was responsible for fitting the impregnated knitted cover and handling stem into the pressed steel cover of the Sticky Bomb. Kay’s played a vital part in developing as well as producing this anti-tank weapon. Among the problems they had to overcome were: how to make a 2lb bomb stick to a moving tank and stay there long enough to detonate; how to make sure the bombs did not stick to each other before use, or to the hand when thrown; how to make an adhesive which remained usable in both hot and cold climates and which was long-lasting.

 

Production of the Sticky Bombs was at the Kayborough Works in Reddish. All the 2.5m+ million sticky bombs for the Army were produced by Kay Brothers. They were used in North Africa, in Italy in street fighting and against pill-boxes, and they were extensively used in France during the closing stages of the War.

 

The company also made other contributions to the war effort as they also packaged a newly discovered anti-malaria drug, Mepacrine, in a double strip of polythene and cellofilm for use in Burma and continued their production of sticky flycatchers which helped to make life a little less uncomfortable for the sick and wounded.

 

1960 Chiswick Products Ltd, part of Reckitt and Colman Holdings Ltd, acquired Kay Brothers of Stockport, makers of Zip firelighters.

Item Description

I am always concerned that any buyer is entirely happy with a purchase arising from my ‘Description’. However, the items sold are vintage and may not meet todays regulations or even meet the origionl manufactured specifications’. All items are entirely described by the photograph(s). Additional supplementary information is provided by the written description which starts below the word 'Description'.. The classification of 'new' or 'used' or 'for parts' is entirely overridden by the 'Description' and the 'Photographs'. No refunds are possible for any miss-‘Description’ except where the goods are clearly not those on offer. The entire description of the goods is the photographs, any words used are a verbal description or additional highlighting of what is in the photographs. In any clash between the words and the pictures the pictures will always take precedent and priority over the words. Any technical specification must be confirmed by the any potential buyer from their own sources. All goods are purchased entirely at the buyer’s risk and the buyer should satisfy themselves about the detail of any specifications before biuying which requires them to look at all of the 'photographs' and if necessary ask for further information. There is no implied warrantee outside of the ‘Description’ and 'Photographs'. Where a photograph does not show a major physical defect this will be described. All goods, even new ones, will have minor physical defects such as scratches. The buyer must be satisfied that the goods conform to what they want to buy before buying.

Electrical goods typically sold are collectors items and do not conform to any current regulations the electrical goods are only sold as suitable for collectors display purposes. When sold as ‘Working’ the meaning of ‘Working’ is that the goods will only conform to the auction ‘Description’ of the function of goods and will not be warranted to conform to the original specification in any way. If described as ‘Working’ this means the goods were tested or examined in some imprecise way some months before sale and they were ‘Working’ then and put into storage. There is no implication that they will work in any way that meets your expectations upon delivery that have not been advised to me before your buying except as arising from the implication of the previous test or examination. ‘Working’ when applied to mains supplied equipment specifically means that they were tested on a temporary basis by a trained electronics technician. You must have the item tested and if necessary rewired by a person qualified to do so before plugging anything into the mains regardless of your perceived abilities. ‘Untested’ means that no power has been applied or any other means of testing has taken place, however there may be a part physical examination of the goods which forms part of the description. Electrical and electronic goods are sold for restoration and display purposes only

 Buyers

. I reserve the right to refuse a sale to a buyer that does not meet any of my auction conditions, or who has negative feedback and I reserve the right to block potential buyers for any reason and advise others that I have done so and why. Where items are supplied as wrapped, or new, and are then opened, or used, or altered in any way by the buyer, there will be no refunds under any circumstances whatsoever.

 If the buyer leaves negative feedback, then any offers, discounts or refunds are immediately rescinded upon leaving that feedback. Upon leaving neutral or negative feedback the buyer will be barred from participating in any of my sales. If the buyer uses another identity to make a purchase then the sale will be cancelled and the buyer will be reported.

If you want to know anything about the item for sale, always ask before buying.

You get what you see in the pictures except any 2p coin (that's not included), nothing more.
