Nagel Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 The knife is also marked Sheffield made. I assume the company had a factory in Sheffield and offices and a showroom in London on Newgate Street. Thanks for answering the question It makes sense they manufactured here and Stacey is a Sheffield name. There was a Stacey Wheel wiped out in the Great Sheffield Flood. http://www.picturesheffield.com/frontend.php?keywords=Ref_No_increment;EQUALS;s00965&pos=2&action=zoom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The following is from Wikipedia ---- Loxley is a village and a suburb of the city of Sheffield. It is a long linear community which stretches by the side of the River Loxley and along the B6077 (Loxley Road) for almost 2.5 miles (4 km). Loxley extends from its borders with the suburbs of Malin Bridge and Wisewood westward to the hamlet of Stacey Bank near Damflask Reservoir. The centre of the suburb is situated at the junction of Rodney Hill and Loxley Road where the old village green stands and this is located 3 miles (5 km) north west of Sheffield city centre. Loxley was previously a village in the West Riding of Yorkshire and came under the jurisdiction of Wortley Rural District Council until it became part of the City of Sheffield in the 1974 boundary changes brought on by the Local Government Act 1972. Today the suburb is within Bradfield Parish Council[1] and consists almost exclusively of residential housing but it did have some industrial activity in the past. Much of the Loxley Valley is designated as Green Belt land.[2] So you can see Stacey Wheel in your post was the named after a small Hamlet and probably ground farm tools etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
