The Naylors were cutlers in Coalpit Lane (now Cambridge Street).  Naylor & Settle was a pen knife cutler there in 1774, using the mark ‘PRET’.  By 1787, this firm was Naylor & Son. 

In 1797, Samuel Naylor was a pocket knife cutler in Coalpit Lane, using the mark ‘STETTIN’ (or ‘STETIN’, or even ‘SETTEM’).  George Naylor Jun. was listed in the same year as a pocket-knife cutler in Carver Street, with the ‘PRET’ mark. 

In the 1820s, Samuel Naylor was a factor at 57 Coalpit Lane, who continued to use the ‘STETTIN’ mark.  He was also described as a manufacturer of brass shoulder, and pocket, lock, sneck, and table knives.  The Coalpit Lane business was not listed after the 1820s. 

The death of Samuel Naylor on 1 February 1828, aged 63, after a ‘severe attack of apoplexy’, may be significant.  The newspapers mentioned his ‘uprightness and strict integrity of character’.  ‘STETTIN’ was acquired by Hall & Waterson (John Hall).
