HARPER SCALES (1790-1982):
John Harper & Co Ltd. was formed in 1790 and based in Willenhall, Staffordshire, England. They manufactured a range of heaters, stoves and domestic hardware. The re-armament programme for the Second World War aided the company: they produced dies for the Spitfire wing panels and many smaller munitions castings, notably the 'squid' anti-submarine detonator housing. In 1970 with increasing foreign competition the houseware goods division was closed. In 1974 the firm was taken over by Duport, who in 1982 effectively ceased to trade as a separate businesses.
