and I have a new one for you

Think its called a sash pocket chisel, handle is goosed but usable.
1.25 " x 7.25"

ps Yes its an old thread but surely better to keep all the Mawhood stuff together.

Here's another Mawhood chisel, 12mm bevel edged with a handle label:

The name stamp lettering looks quite modernish.

Mawhood Brothers, Edge Tool Manufacturers, Sheffield (1879 - 1978).

Thanks Cheshire,

However not entirely accurate as the other thread states rescued from receivership in 1879 and AndyT's book has them at Palm Tree Works from circa 1866 - 1919

London Gazette from the car boot page 1879

Trading as Stevenson, Mawhood and Company


Good info from Jimi43 also on the carboot page states the family returned from Oz in 1865 and had more children (1865 = Bridlington Quay, 1867 & 68 were born in Ellerker) and 1869 &74 children were born in Sheffield. So all we know for sure is they arrived in Sheffield in 1968/9 .
