Why so many The Celebrated
What was the significance of makers having a "The Celebrated" model? It seems there are several makers W&B, Joseph Elliot, Wostenholm, etc., most seem to be early/middle 1800's era and from Sheffield.
Just curious, is all.

It's a common branding tradition of British (and especially English) products from the eighteenth century through this day. An easily found modern specimen is the Altoids peppermint tin:

It's just a quaint way of saying "a very popular and recommended item".
