Russell, Hector

Hector Russell was a highland supplier in Greenock and during the later 1940′s, they formed a partnership with 3 former turners from the Henderson shop – Jack Dunbar, Thomas Liddell and John Maitland. They made pipes for Hector Russell until 1948 when they left and went on to form Piobmor Highland Industries.
