CUMSHING [aka: CUM SHING]    GOLD PRODUCTION
            Old China Street, Canton
























            As with the retail silversmiths Wang Hing and Linchong, Cum Shing also dealt in gold items carrying the Cum
            Shing  mark  and  a  stamp  denoting  20  carat  purity  gold.  What  is  not  totally  clear  is  the  manufacturing  period
            within which these items appeared. Research is ongoing to understand more of this side of Cum Shing.
