The firm was Charles Baker & Co., a retailer that had several outlets in London--in Fleet Street (in the City), in Oxford Street (in the West End), and in Tottenham Court Road. The main headquarters of the firm was located at 271-272 High Holborn in the West End. This company seems to have been a large one, appealing to a large cross-section of the British public. We note quite a number of the store's advertisements duting the 1880s, suggesting that it was a very important store. The store was apparently opened in 1864. The advetisement here suggests the prietors we west of England manufacturers so the stores wee apparently opened as outlets. The page here says that they were opened to keep pace with the civil service stores. We are not sure what that means. We are not sure when the store was closed.
