MASTERS, DAVID; pseudonym of Charles Edwin Brand, (1883-1965)--------------------------The US Catalog of Copyright Entries reveals that David Masters was the pen-name of C. E. Brand. This, coupled with the known birth year of "David Masters", 1883, leads us to Charles Edwin Brand, born in Marylebone, London, on 20 January 1883, the son of William John Brand (a greengrocer) and his wife Ada (nee Upson), who had married in 1875. William John Brand died in 1889 at the age of 37, whilst Charles was still only eight, and his mother raised the family of three sons and one daughter, running a newsagent with the assistance of her sister, Emma Jane Upson. Ada Brand also died young, at the age of 39, in 1895. And the children were then raised by Aunt Emma. At the time of the 1901 census, Charles Brand was working as a grocer's assistant in Putney.
He is next spotted applying for a patent on what he described as combination gardening tools. Brand, a journalist then living at Clovelly, Hadley, Barnet, Hertfordshire, had created a tool consisting of a metal plate, one side of which was formed as a rake, a second as a Dutch hoe, the third an ordinary hoe and the fourth a drill-maker or clod-chopper; the plate had a central socket so that a handle could be attached. The patent was published on 6 June 1918.
One of his books noted that he was a salvage expert and hard hat diver who worked upon the sunken German fleet at Scapa Flow. Although I know nothing of his journalistic career, as David Masters he was a contributor to Wide-World Magazine, Conquest, Saturday Evening Post, Traveller's Pack and Pictorial Magazine.
Charles Edwin Brand was living at 10 Belsize Park, Hampstead, London N.W.3, where he died on 24 May 1965, aged 82.------------------------------David Masters books:Crimes Of the High SeasEpics Of SalvageGerman Jet GenesisIn Peril On the SeaMiracle DrugOn the WingSo Few the Immortal Record Of the Royal Air ForceSOS - a Book Of Sea AdventureThe Romance Of ExcavationThe Wonders Of SalvageUp PeriscopeWhen Ships Go DownWith Pennants Flying
