Guest wrizzy31 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Hello, Does anyone know anything about the company Parkin and Marshall who made silver, pewter etc in the 1800 onwards. Parkin was a relative of mine (William Parkin) and would be grateful for any information you may have about the company, whether it still exists, or anything about the Parkins in Sheffield. Many thanks Angie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest brightmount Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Hi Angie, I picked up a fish knife at a boot fair yesterday and in trying to identify the hallmark, I found it to be Parkin & Marshall, and this thread popped up. I will gladly send it to you free of charge but as I have only just registered I don't know how to contact you. If you can contact me then I'll put it in the post to you.

Guest amanda28 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Hi There I am very new to all this and wondered if anyone would be able to help me? Recently my Grandad who is 83 gave me a Parkin and Marshall bread knife and bread board. He tells me that it came from his grandma but knows nothing more. He would be delighted if i could find out more of the history surrounding the makers and the knife itself. There are only the markings XL on the knife and the name of the company. Please could you direct me to where im to start looking Regards, Amanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Chumledo Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Hi, I was hoping that someone could help give me some information about my 2x great grandfather's shaving blade. It is a XLALL Parkin & Marshall shaving blade. It also has the name Sheffield on the case. I have a photo of it but wasn't sure how to post it along with this message.
