Cool Brand-marks on Tools

**Heavansabove** · 10th September 2012, 11:55 AM

There is a listing of marks (which includes many tool makers):

Trademarks on base-metal tableware
late 18th century to circa 1900 (including marks on Britannia metal, iron, steel, copper alloys, and silver-plated goods)
Eileen Woodhead.

Do a google search and you will find the downloadable PDF.

Cheers

After seeing this today: https://www.woodworkforums.com/f152/rusty-refurb-135269/

It linked to these pages on Goldenberg and Coulaux - which ring a bell with me because I have some french stuff - particularly mortice chisels that I got from Matt .

JT someone-or-other, Sheffield on a battered old firmer of FILs.

Any guesses on the name?

Tyzack logo?

Hey, nice pick up. I just gave it a bit more of a scrub and while it's still not clear, I can now see Tyzak in there.

I thought they only did saws...

Nope, lots of chisels and gouges as well as drawknives that I have seen. All good quality tools I might add.
It appears that they also made:
...........................garden, joiners’ and moulders’ tools, bricklayers’ trowels, putty and palette knives, graining combs, butchers’ and bakers’ tools, and of course, as always with Tyzacks - saws.

See:
Joseph Tyzack & Son - Traditional Woodworking Tools Internet Magazine - wkFineTools.com

IMHO - one of the better toolmakers to come out of the old country.

This one looks like it was in use for a long time before being retired to cracking bricks.

I'm sure it can be revived though.
