The success and fortunes of Samuel increased and with the introduction of his sons into the business the fi rm became Barnett Samuel & Sons in 1872. At the time when the present medallion was awarded the company was enjoying considerable prosperity through the manufacture and export of a wide range of musical instruments. Barnett Samuel died the following year but under the direction of his son Nelson Samuel, the company would soon become one of the largest musical wholesalers in Britain. In 1914 the company patented the fi rst portable gramophone, many of which were taken into the trenches during WWI. An amalgam of the names ‘Mecca’ and the company’s trademark ‘Dulcet’ gave birth to the trade name Decca and their gramophone was marketed as the ‘Decca Dulcephone’. In 1928 Barnett Samuel & Sons was bought by British Equity Investment Co without the right for continued use of the company name, whereupon it was renamed Decca Gramophone Co, which, in turn, passed to E.R.Lewis who took the company to greater renown as the Decca Record Company.
