Toothbrush Holder, 7 inches tall. Brown transfer. The Edge, Malkin & Co. greyhound mark is different in this "Argyle" pattern series because the pattern name appears in the ribbon where the initials E. M.& Co. are usually put. In the mark for the toothbrush holder the words "Chinese Scroll" are placed below the mark where the pattern name is found on most of the other E.M.& Co. named patterns. “Argyle” refers to the body shape and “Chinese Scroll” is the pattern name. The “Argyle” shape seems to consist of a bulbous base with a belt and buckle wrapped around it. The finials and handles resemble a cable or length of rope. The registry diamond dates the registration of this pattern to 29 September 1879. This stylized rendering of flowers in an ornate vase coupled with an Oriental screen is similarly wreathed by a stylized border of flowers that trail around the rim of the plate intertwining here and there with Chinese scrolls.

The partners were Joseph Edge, William Millett Edge, John Wilcox Edge, and James Malkin. In 1892 John Wilcox Edge retired from the business. In 1893 James Malkin retired and William Spencer Millett Edge joined the business. In 1894 Sydney Malkin left the partnership and the business was continued by the Edge family alone - the name Edge, Malkin & Co. was continued. By 1902 the business was bankrupt and went into voluntary liquidation. S. Webster Dean (who was the chairman of Edge, Malkin & Co.) continued the business until 1910.
