Mansell Tool Company

I've had this saw, which probably belonged to my Grandfather, for some time but have been unable to find anything about the manufacturer Mansell Tool Co. Sheffield

Anybody heard of them?

A google for "Mansell Tool" had this on the first page of results:

http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/ ... 5/page.pdf

STAGEY, John William, residing at 311, Abbeydale
Road South, Dore in the city of Sheffield, and
carrying on business at Wallace Works, Furnival
Street. Sheffield aforesaid, under the style of
"Mansell Tool Company", and "H. T. Canty
& Co.", HAND TOOL and FANCY GOODS
DEALER. Court—SHEFFIELD. No. of Matter

Final, or otherwise—Supplementary. When Payable—
28th Nov.. 1961. Where Payable—Offices
of Poppleton & Appleby, 93, Queen Street, Sheffield.

"Hand tool and fancy goods dealer" sounds either like a factor or a hardware store. In Sheffield, I'd have said factor is more likely.

Thanks for that BB - I'm always googling it?
Wonder how long the Co. was in existence as I'm pretty sure the saw is much older than the 1960's?

If he's in the London Gazette, he either dead or gone bust....

It's an official rag for legal notices.

According to this site , Wallace Works was quite a size at one time?
