HISTORY OF HARRIS AND SPRUNT (1913-1925)

Harris and Sprunt were manufacturing jewellers located at 46 Elizabeth Street Melbourne.  The partnership was noted for its stone-set gold jewellery including rings and brooches.  The business was continued from 1920 by B. Harris (late Harris and Spunt) and traded at 377 Little Bourke Street until 1925.
