Antique Vintage Straight Razor Wilson Hawksworth Ellison & Co. Sheffield
This was one of the first firms to establish a reputation in America in the early nineteenth century. It was founded in 1825 by John Wilson and John Wilson Hawksworth (1798-1869). The latter was the son of Stephen (a file smith) and Ann. The firm was a merchant in cutlery, razors, and steel. The first address was 4 Sycamore Street, where Wilson manufactured his renowned butchers’ and skinning knives. The company’s American representative after 1829 was Joshua Moss (1801-1879), who had been apprenticed to Thorpe, Wragg & Co. Moss established Wilson and Hawkworth’s American trade so successfully that he became a partner in 1832, when the firm’s name changed accordingly.
