Mike Daly provided useful information on sextant makers, and I can add another work on the earlier English instruments and their makers. This is "The mathematical practitioners of Hanoverian England 1714-1840", by E G R Taylor. Forget its off-putting title.. My main criticism is that it's indexed very awkwardly.
