This cutler was listed in the pocket-knife section of the Sheffield directory of 1787.  His trade mark was ’24 Z’ (with the ‘Z’ horizontal).  Baxter indicated that he specialised in hunter’s knives, though he also appeared in that directory under the heading ‘Stamped Brass, White Metal, and Metal-Framed Knives’.  In 1797, he was listed again, this time with a trade mark (‘N 24 Z’).  He worked and lived at Newfield, Bridgehouses, which was near Kelham Island on the far side of the River Don.  By 1821, he was a hunter’s knife and fork manufacture.  In 1825, his address was Oborn Street, a backstreet in Bridgehouses / White Rails long since demolished.  The Sheffield Independent, 28 March 1829, reported that Baxter had died ‘lately’ at Newfield, Bridgehouses, aged 66.  He was an edge tool maker.  He was buried at St Peter & St Paul churchyard on 22 March 1829 (his stated occupation in the register was ‘edge tool maker’).
