My wife & myself remember both Tina & Ethel, Tina had a sister called Sheree who also worked there for a time & we both worked with Sheree in the early sixties when we all worked at Lee & Wigfalls on John St at what is now the Stag Works which doesnt seem to produce Cutlery any more its mainly for up and coming bands to practice.

hi yes i worked at siples 1953

 

Hi,

I have a set of knives made by B&J Sippel Ltd, polished stainless steel blade, etched company name, with ivory handles, in a cardboard box. Would you know for how long ivory handles were in production? After 1948?

regards
