I was searching to find the value of my CJ Barlows thinking I might sell one or two when I came across this brilliant film.

It starts of with table knives then moves onto pen knives and scissors at 20 mins.

I am fascinated by it all the grinding,the packing how neat the woman fold everything its seams withough glue or string.

The boxing to send to Adelaide in tin lined boxes,is that to stop moisture? its a skill in itself sealing them up take a look.

Where Bunny knives mad in 1928 are any in the box?

Check out the fantastic card display the woman makes and the table top display at the end.

The line up of pruners,ettrick,swaybacks top left is superb.

The thought that these men (in white shirts wearing ties) and woman might of made my Barlows is just thrilling.

Interesting film. I always get a kick out of seeing men wearing ties in these old films, like the man hammering the razor blade towards the end. I was surprised to see how many women, and some apparently very young girls were working in these factories.. John
