Who are they? The BADA Dinner 1953

As part of the research project we are trying to identify the antique dealers in this British Antique Dealers' Association (BADA) annual dinner from 22nd March 1953. The photograph of the BADA dinner is below (thanks to the BADA), which we had added a numbering system next to each individual in the photograph.
