No, this isnt an adults only thread.
I wanted to cut a piece of glass and dug out my fathers glass cutter. Its supposed to be a diamond but it didnt cut, so I examined it closely (more closely than I have in the last 60 years) to see if it could be resharpened only to discover thats who made it!
What a brilliant manufacturing name, Bush & Chipper, London. Its brass ended on what looks like it might be an ebony handle, or it might just have a 100 years worth of grime on beech for all I know. The diamond is brazed onto the end.
I'm going to keep it just for the name.
Any of you old catalogue people got any info on the company?
