John Davidson / John Davidson and Sons

From 1864 until 1885 there were three" Box Works" in Mauchline: W. and A. Smith, Wilson & Amphlet and John Davidson and Sons. Much has been written about the Smiths and Wilson & Amphlet's products have been identified many times. John Davidson and his sons thrived for forty years making snuffboxes, Tartan and Fancy Wood Ware, yet little is known about the firm's high quality products.

John Davidson was born in the Ayrshire village of Dailly in 1817. He was a founder member of Clark, Davidson and Co. who were listed in the 1851 census as having a box manufactory at Grey's Bridge, Back Causeway (now Castle Street) Mauchline, employing fourteen workers.

The company was mentioned in the Ayr Advertiser of 7 July 1853: "The checkers and others in the ornamental department of Messrs Clark, Davidson & Co. have received an addition to their wages of 10% owing to the increased prosperity of trade generally throughout the country and of the Scotch Tartan Fancy Works in particular."
