This ‘Sheffield Cutlery Co’ was apparently a factor that operated in the late 1890s from an office address. It advertised most types of cutlery, holloware, and electro-plate (knives, scissors, desserts, carvers) ‘direct from factory at wholesale prices’. It also offered repairs and re-plating. The office was at 21 Sycamore Street (Supplement to Weekly Telegraph, 12 December 1896). By the following year, it was based at 47 Norfolk Street. By 1899, it was out of business and its stock of cutlery and electro-plate was offered at auction (Sheffield Independent, 10 June 1899). It should be noted that the words ‘Sheffield Cutlery Co’ could sometimes be used misleadingly. In 1906, the local craft guild, the Company of Cutlers, sued the Ontatio Silver Co at Nigara Falls for using ‘Sheffield Cutlery Co’ as a trade name (Ottawa Free Press, 8 June 1906).
