The partners were Herbert Timm (1845-1893) and John Jenkins (born c. 1856 in Devon).   Herbert Timm was the son of Thomas, a bone scale cutter, and his wife, Martha.  Herbert became a silversmith and launched Astley, Roberts & Timm in Orchard Street.  When Thomas Astley withdrew in 1872, the firm continued under Timm and William Roberts.  In 1881, these silversmiths were next-door neighbours in Bennett Street, employing two boys.   In 1889 and 1892 (twice), Jenkins & Timm registered silver marks from Orchard Lane.  It had an agency in Newgate Street, London.  Herbert Timm, Bromley Street, died on 31 January 1893 (aged 48).  He was buried in the General Cemetery, leaving £288.  Jenkins continued and in 1900 registered another silver mark at Pensilvia Works, Solly Street.  Charles Cusworth was a partner, but soon withdrew.  In 1900, the firm sold its Sheffield and London stock of silver and electro-plate so that it could move to larger premises in Arundel Street (which had no showroom).   In 1915, Jenkins & Timm became ‘Ltd’ (capital £3,000).  John Jenkins remained the senior partner after the War, but in 1930 Jenkins & Timm was liquidated (when Joseph F. Mitchell was the director).  The trade mark was a crossed cutlass and rifle.
