From WIlliams, Sheila, The History of Knitting Pin Gauges
In 1898 Morralls amalgamated with Lewis & Baylis … the Morrall name and Griffin trademark were well-regarded assets and it was agreed … to merge under the Morrall name…. The running of the company, however, was firmly in the hands of the Lewis family
demi-griffin, Cross Fox and Clive were all trademarks of Lewis & Baylis before the merger with Abel Morrall.
Lewis & Baylis owned the Clive Works in Redditch.
