Thread: What do I have here?

Maker of the 'Old Faithful' brand among others, A J Jordan is notable for being the only american razor-maker in Sheffield. Originally based in St. Louis, Missouri he decided that the best knives and razors came not from Germany but from Sheffield. Most people would have been content with importing the Sheffield item, but not Mr Jordan - he left the US for Sheffield and opened his own factory - the East India Works! The factory was at 20 Radford Street, but soon proved to be too small so he moved to a three floor building occupying numbers 6 - 10 Baker Street. This soon proved too small as well, so he moved again to Furnival Street, where he kept 120 employees busy making all sorts of cutlery bearing his "AAA1" brand. After some time he moved back to America, but still maintained a residence in Sheffield.

Regards,
Neil
