"Made in Sheffield" 1830-1930, A golden age ?

Rob I wonder if the Tang Stamp continued as York C.S 127X ( the last three being worn off?).

Great old Lambsfoot Knife matey.

Ah, I think you are dead on, Duncan! I wonder if the 127x was a model number

There's a Y.S.C. listed in Grace's Guide, but not a particularly helpful entry unfortunately

I stumbled on this during a brief search. Yorkshire Steel Company wasn't in business long.
Thanks, Jack

I just went researching sweeping,and spent a few hours learning about hygiene,the head with its poop rope,bathing in a sail etc and have a few more hours of reading left,and it's not the first time you sent me down the research rabbit hole.

I received my copy yesterday, found it online for under $10, used, but you wouldn't know it from the condition.
