    Default Clough & Co

    For your interest and on the off chance of getting some information i present Clough & Co.

    I have searched all my reference books and online but i cannot find anything on this maker. My Cutlers list of Hallamshire goes from 1623-1699, i am looking for the next 50 years worth and always looking for books on London cutlers..
    I think there was a Clough works in Sheffield .

    You can see my fix and i will need to re drill the pin holes.
    Tomorrow i will pin it and start the process of restoring the edge..
    Cheers

    News alert update :
    Tried to pin this tonight and the fix broke.
    It was only half broken when I did the fix, hence it did not hold.. Now it is fully broken I can fix it properly. The shave of this will be even sweeter now. God willing

    Great find, Joe. Fraid I cant help. Never had much luck with finding early or pre 1800 Sheffields.

    Not sure if this helps but it might be a trailhead to follow.

    Presumably the same John Wright Clough is mentioned in association with William Loy & Co. in that same time period.

    Maybe the same as your Clough, maybe a relative or heir. Maybe no relation at all. They are mainly mentioned as "knife makers."

    I also came across this mentioned a few pages further down the search.Name: Screenshot_20201215-063927.jpg Views: 82 Size: 38.1 KB

    Not sure if it is related but the initials are the same as the aforementioned Clough and it gives a location. Here's the link.

    Yeah, I'm wondering if it is a progression of the same family through about a century give or take. It seems like your razor may pre-date most if not all of that. Hopefully that will give you a trail to follow and maybe find something concrete.
