Guest morrisminor Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Recently seen some knives stamped "Cattell". Rudimentary searching shows that there was a Bains and Cattell, and a Bainco before/after(?) that - and that they split apart, perhaps in the 1950's. No records of Cattell making cutlery alone, and little information on either company. Possibly a factory near Chippinghouse Road S7/S8? Wondered if anyone had any general history/information or even memories of any of these companies, why they split, what happened to them etc. Thanks!
