    The company was formed in 1844 by a partnership between Joseph Moore and John Allen who were two former apprentices of Thomas Halliday, the leading die-sinker in Birmingham in the first half of the nineteenth century who trained most of the medal makers of the period.
    'The partners carried on business as Allen & Moore in Great Hampton Row, Birmingham and manufactured articles of papier mache and also metal vases cups and boxes. These metal wares produced by machines invented by Allen were engine cut on bodies coated with colour and portions being cut away by the lathe the patterns chiefly designed by Moore were left in colour in low relief. Partly owing to changes of fashion, the works had to be closed and Moore, after having lost all he had, began business for himself in 1856 as a die sinker first in Summer Lane and afterwards, till his death, in Pitsford Street, Birmingham.'
