Cutlery marked Taylor’s Eye Witness – with the well-known Eye of Providence mark – was manufactured by Needham, Veall & Tyzack Ltd. This stainless steel table knife would have been made for Thomas Justice & Sons Ltd, which was a Dundee cabinet maker, upholsterer, and furnishing ironmongers. It had been founded by Thomas Justice (1847-1924), who was born in Dundee, educated at Hilltown Free Church School, and then worked as a factory mechanic. He was next apprenticed as an upholsterer. After experience in Glasgow, he returned to Dundee and started own business in household furniture at Tally Street.  In the Census, he was described as a cabinet maker. The business expanded and in 1892 he occupied a site at Whitehall Street, Dundee. In 1897, the firm was registered as a limited liability company, with share capital of £100,000 (Dundee Advertiser, 19 November 1897). In the following year, Justice took over an ironmongers, Gray & Son, which was also in Whitehall Street. In 1899, Justice opened a new factory, South Ward Works, in South Ward Road (Evening Telegraph, Dundee, 24 January 1899). After after his death on 30 September 1924, Thomas’s estate was valued at nearly £50,000. The firm was active throughout the 20th  century, but is now apparently defunct.
