When James Willis Dixon, the second son of James joined the firm, the name was changed to James Dixon & sons.In 1836 the firm began making spoons and forks from nickel silver - an alloy of nickel, copper and zinc, starting from 1848 to produce electroplate.In the 1950's the firm continued its' expansion, exhibiting at the Great Exhibition in 1851, being awarded several prizes in various categories.Dixon's costing book of 18879 includes designs by Christopher Dresser, registered and produced from 1880 to 1885.In the 1920's the firm began using stainless steel, as the demand for silver and silver plate declined.During this period James Dixon & Sons carried the name "staybrite" and "Firth" as Firth Brown was the firm where "staybrite" steel was invented in the 1910's.In 1920 the firm was converted into a limited liability company, and in 1930 the firm of William Hutton & Sons Ltd of Sheffield was absorbed into James Dixon & Sons Ltd.In the 1980's the firm had a financial collapse and the production in Cornish Place closed in 1992, and was then absorbed into British Silverware Production c.1984.1993 the firm was acquired by Chase Montague Group and Thesco.
