G. H. Palfrey was a fine jeweller working in Melbourne between 1897 and 1927. Originally at 317 Little Collins Street he moved to Howey Place where James Alfredson is located at 26 Howey Place. Palfrey’s shop said to have been located on the corner of the Capitol Arcade was staffed by his three lovely daughters whose charm attracted many customers.
