John George Holtzapffel (1888-1968) of Holtzapffel and Co

1888 Born the son of George William Holtzapffel

From 1919, John George helped with the business, becoming head in his turn.

In 1927, John George announced that due to increased costs of production after the war, combined with their clients' tremendous preoccupation with the automobile over ornamental turning, they would be closing their doors. The last lathe produced was Holtzapffel No. 2557, made in 1913-14 and sold in November 1928
