Lovely, and one thing[edit]

Lovely article, well done Truthkeeper88. One little editing thing - we have 'handcoloured', 'hand coloured' and 'hand-coloured'. Not sure which it should be, but certainly not all three! 86.134.26.96 (talk) 16:58, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No definitely not all three. I decided to use the hyphenated version. Thanks for pointing out. Truthkeeper (talk) 19:58, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

End?[edit]

The article refers to Dean & Son in the past tense, but says nothing about when/how they went out of business. The only possible hint is a reference to their location until 1890. Inquiring minds want to know! --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 17:20, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I really can find very little about this firm - I created a red link for it in toy book but there's not much information to be found. Presumably though more will come to light and be added - at least I hope so! Truthkeeper (talk) 19:58, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
