Sheffield England, with it's great history, is known for casting steel as early as the 14
th
century. THIS TOWN WAS NOTED FOR THE PRODUCTION OF KNIFES.
By 1600 Sheffield was the main center of cutlery production in England outside London, a company formed to oversee the trade. Examples of water-powered blade and cutlery workshops from around this time can be seen at the museums in Sheffield.
This town of Sheffield is very populous and large, the streets narrow, and the houses dark and black, occasioned by the continued smoke of the forges, which are always at work: Here they make all sorts of cutlery-ware, but especially that of edged-tools, knives, razors, axes, chisels, saws and nails
A nice addition to your collection!

rrcollectibles1877 A shorthistory.~~~CHISELS PLANES & STUFF~~
At 11 years old, in the summer of 1960, I had 8 differentpart time fobs. Mostly relating to
newspapers. Some yard maintenance and some babysitting. Atfirst, I walked my routes in a small, at the time, in the outer edges or LAcounty. Eventually I was able to purchase a new Western Flyer bicycle formWestern Auto on the payment plan with my mother cosigning. It was .00 a monthfor 10 months. I loved the bike.~~~~
At 16 years old I left home and worked full time in a metalfabrication department for a company that made patio furniture. I was thesecond fastest production operator on the brake and punch out presses in theplant. The Forman was the fastest. Also crushed 4 digits on my hands.~~~~
At 19 years old I was a Sargent in charge of an AirborneInfantry Squad which had a M-60 machine gun crew. I was sent to the Republic ofViet Nam. Was wounded in the end of 67. When I came home I couldn't find acomfortable place to work so started my own business. In the late 60s and early70s I made leather products, sold to a few stores and on the streets of SanFrancisco to the tourists. One of the first shops I sold to, when they had onlytwo stores, was the Gap. ~~~~
After about 10,000 belts and a good number of bags, satchels and key fobs Imoved on to Jewelry. I started selling my silver as a San Francisco StreetArtist (San Francisco Street Artist License No 28)~~~~
As I got into gold and precious gems I moved on to art shows first in Floridathen eventually up the entire east coast along with the mid-west. Atlanta,Virginia Beach, New York City, all the big towns in Ohio, then on to Detroit,Ann Arbor, Chicago, and many cities in between then back down south. Whiledoing the touring I received over 70 awards for design and craftsmanship.
Bythe time I was 40 I had my own jewelry store and became a Graduate Gemologist(GIA) in Delray Beach Florida. I designed, manufacturing, sold and appraisingjewelry for 1100 families. During that time, I designed, developed, and taughtthe jewelry program for the Boca Raton Museum. I retired from the store (soldout at 50) and only took on custom work or one-of-a-kind pieces for specialclients. ~~~~
I moved back to Colorado (was born in Denver) about 10years ago. Yes, I'm no spring chicken. For the last several years I have beencreating works in wood and have plans to combine gems with fine wood products.In the
meantime
I started collecting antique woodworking tools. I studied andworked with many a vintage tool. Realizing I could find good tools at auctionsand bring them to the public at a lower price that I had been paying. Now I'mbringing these finds to you.~~~~
