With Ipcress being across the pond - might have more information than we are getting!  Because by these 3 references it appears 1960's.
I'm from the South - but please don't mistake my Southern Manners/Accent/Charm as a weakness!

Even the silvercollection website says they bought Ellis in 1931.

Yes,, That's what I read and linked to earlier !! And on the same site but different page it said they were acquired in the 60`s !!  Thats why the confusion !!
