    Curse you and your insistence in giving me complex accurate answers instead of simplistic convenient ones!

    This makes annoyingly good sense, darn it.

    As you have found some makers Proudly added the City and sometimes the country well before 1891
    The Made in "Country" only applied to pieces intended for export to the US also

    Sheffield stamps can be found quite a ways back even Sheffield England

    I have a razor that I'm reasonably sure was made no later than 1858 and it proudly carries the name Sheffield. I'm sure there will be earlier examples in other member's collections.

    This George Wostenholm was made between 1854 and 1859 and it says Sheffield.
