It’s a Sargent 8” x 12” I think its from the 20 or 30’s but I don’t know for sure. I seen it in an antique shop for $11 and couldn’t pass on it.

I didn’t know at first but after some digging I found a WM Marples and son’s historical website and emailed the admin. They revealed some key characteristics about the cleaver that suggests it was produced roughly in or around 1905

I am so glad you like antique and vintage Sheffield knives - I have a few myself.
Sheffield is only 30 miles from me.
