Kalfred Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Hello, I saw some old cutlery on line including some table knives with "Carrick" Sheffield etched on the blades. The "Hawley", Name on a Knife Blade web site does reference this name but suggests it was the Glasgow based "Carrick Brothers" trade mark on knives made in Sheffield. Looking at the image I found, I see a monogram appearing to feature several letters. Is there not a "A", an "S", an "M" and an "R"? Is this evidence for a Sheffield manufacturing company or an amalgamation of companies? Are there any other views on this entwined mark?

tozzin Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 It was common practice for other businesses and jewellers to have cutlery made in Sheffield and etched with the customers name, you can copy a logo like Made in Sheffield but you cannot copy its quality, thats Sheffield's alone.

Kalfred Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 Thank you Edmund and Tozzin for you responses to my enquiry about "Carrick" blades and Sheffield. Hopefully there will be a clue somewhere, to who in Sheffield, made these knives. Kalfred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
