The maker, Simon Levy, took over from his father Emmanuel in 1817/18 and first went bankrupt in 1823. He finally gave up silversmithing in 1832 when he went bankrupt again. Levy then seems to have become a travelling salesman for optical supplies and turns up in the Channel Islands, where he was murdered on 9 January 1846 in a cafe in Saint Helier.

Simon Levy, along with his father Emmanuel, was a prominent member of Exeter’s Jewish community.
