Description: Joseph Wostenholm & Sons Perseverance Works - EBRO. In 1856, Joseph Wostenholm & Sons advertised as a manufacturer of razors and cutlery in Leicester Street. Four years later, the enterprise was operating from Meadow Street, where besides making razors the owner was operating a beer house. In 1857, Joseph was bankrupt. By 1863, the firm was operating from Perseverance Works in Penistone Road and Wostenholm’s son, also named Joseph, took over. One corporate mark was “2565”. Another was the word “EBRO”, apparently granted in 1773, and acquired by Joseph Wostenholm in the 1860’s. In 1868, the firm advertised as a razor and table knife manufacturer. The founder died on 30 April 1876. By the end of 1904, Wostenholm’s trade was negligible and the assets were sold to Adolph Kastor. The "EBRO" marking is rare. The steel is in very good condition. Jimping on top. Bone scales in very good condition. Condition is "Used". Shipped with USPS First Class.
