Read & Elvidge
© Ken Hawley Collection Trust - K.0880
We believe this knife was made in Sheffield for Read & Elvidge, a wholesaler originally based in London. REDGE was their trademark.
The company was in existence between 1958 and 1997 and was latterly based in Trowbridge, Wiltshire. It was registered as a wholesaler of household goods, including china and wallpaper (and presumably cutlery).
With thanks to Alastair Fisher of Taylor's Eye Witness Ltd for providing this information.
