<p>[QUOTE=&quot;morgen94, post: 9923821, member: 217&quot;]FYI, I researched Henry H. Taylor&#039;s business and found in the mid-1800s he was a merchant selling primarily cutlery. For much of the late 1800&#039;s, I saw pretty much just cutlery-related articles and classified ads for his business. I then saw mention of his business in Sheffield <u>and in NY</u>.&nbsp; As my prior home was in a bedroom community for NYC, I assumed I must have purchased this set at an estate sale in that area. Something I read of breakups of the business with his brother then led me to search for information on Henry Taylor Ltd. and I found the much-later ad you see here. This was the first mention of artists&#039; tools I saw:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]498439[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The partial label on my set looks older than 1932, however, but evidence is leading me to believe it may quite not be Civil-War era, as I first thought.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you all again for the help with this rabbit hole...and time for bed now[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
