Thats what i thought.originally i thought it was bland but now after a longer look at it i love the green tinge and how the colours flow together.

They are still at Syvester works in the 1925 directory, but now shown as a limited (Ltd.) company.

"Thomas Ellin & Co Limited, cutlery manufacturers, Sylvester works, Arundel Street."'
