	I have recently purchased a probably 1930's table lamp for restoration. On the base is printed (it's very hard to read) Glimerglow Lampa, but the interesting bit is it also says (again hard to read) a product of BPP Coventry
Anyone know anything about them, please?

	Hi, could it be B B F?
This company or one with the same name is still trading.

	No it's definitely BPP. I've managed to find a reference to another one that was for sale on eBay in the past but still no clues who BPP were. Could it be later than I think perhaps?

	On searching the Newspaper Archive site, the name B.P.P. appears in the 1930/40s as a team entrant in the Coventry Works League for snooker - possibly other sports too but I haven't got paid access to the site so can't read all of the entries.
Hope this at least proves their existence in the city.

	There's a topic on here.....British Pressed Panels
The first entry (I don't know how to link to that so I've copied it) reads
Hi everybody
I am new to this site but wanted to say first off that I think it's a really super example of local heritage and history enthusiasts pooling knowledge to enhance and celebrate local history.
I have been attempting to no avail to find out any information at all about a company known as B P P Ltd, Coventry.  The only bit of info I have to go in is that they were engaged in industrial metalwork / engineering. 
Other than a lamp I own that was made by them I think around the 1930's I have no idea what other metal products they made. The lamp components are made of aluminium and were traditionally manufactured through metal spinning. 
I would be so very very grateful for any information at all anyone can shed on B P P Ltd.
Kind regards and sincere thanks in advance for any info you can provide,
nicola

	They're recorded in the Grace's Guide as still existing in in 1937 in Quinton.

	British Pressed Panels had a meeting of the creditors on 12th January 1950 per an announcement in the CET.
