Ah ben voilà, tu es maintenant maudit par sa majesty...c'est comme lorsqu'on casse un miroir mais là le tarif c'est 7 ans de coupures.
Pour le "cutlery of her majesty", tu es sûr que tu ne t'emballes pas un peu chewba ? Je ne vois pas ça pour Joseph Elliot, peut être que ses successeurs l'ont été.
Apparemment les Joseph Elliot sont tous antérieurs à 1900.

Archival history:
In the 1950s Joseph Elliot and Sons (Sheffield) Limited was contacted regarding its business records by the National Register of Archives. The first stage report was returned and no further enquiry was made regarding archive material as 'most of the records were destroyed during war period.'
In early 2000, the company invited Sheffield Archives to the premises at Sylvester Street, Sheffield, to select any business records considered to be of historical interest. The premises were due to be renovated into student accommodation by the following September. Unfortunately the records were not arranged in any discernable manner and therefore have been arranged according to a schema used to highlight the various functions and activities of a business. Records identified as belonging to a subsidiary company have been listed as such; unidentifiable material has been included in the listing for the parent company with a note to this effect.
Administrative history:
Joseph Elliot and Sons (Sheffield) Limited established as a private limited company in 1927. The company's history however dates back to the Joseph Elliot and Sons business that was founded in 1795 at Hollis Croft, Sheffield. Joseph Elliot was a cutlery manufacturer and made high-class kitchen knives for the Butchers and Catering trades; silver-plated tableware for cookware retailers; pocket knives, floor scrapers and scissors for ironmongers and hardware retailers; as well as silver-plated ware and silver cutlery.
In 1921 Joseph Elliot and Sons was incorporated by Sheffield Cutlery Manufacturers Limited. The latter had been incorporated on May 8th 1919 and formed with the sole intention of acquiring five cutlery businesses in Sheffield: Thomas Turner and Company (Sheffield) Limited; Needham, Veall and Tyzack Limited; Joseph Elliot and Sons; Lockwood Brothers Limited; and Southern and Richardson Limited.
Joseph Elliot and Sons continued to trade at Hollis Croft until 1923 following an agreement with Lockwood Brothers Limited to move to Spital Works, Spital Hill, Sheffield. The company remained under the management of Joseph Greaves Elliot and his two sons Joseph Hawksley Elliot and John Gilbert Elliot. On 31st December 1926 the manufacture of cutlery at the Spital Hill Works ceased and the business moved to Granville Works, 1 Sylvester Street, Sheffield.
By 1926 Sheffield Cutlery Manufacturers Limited was experiencing some financial difficulties and as a result sold parts of its businesses to Joseph G. Elliot. Joseph subsequently set up a private limited company, on Sep 2nd 1927, called Joseph Elliot and Sons (Sheffield) Limited. At the same time the original Joseph and Sons Limited company changed its name to Cutlery Agencies Limited.
Joseph and Sons (Sheffield) Limited, with its subsidiaries (see below for a list), was taken over during the early nineteen seventies by J Dewsnap Bowler Limited, Sylvester Works, Sylvester Street, Sheffield.

J. Dewsnap Bowler Limited
Sylvester Street, Sheffield (formerly 89 Trippet Lane, Sheffield).
Described as a manufacturer of cutlery materials, at some point in the 1970's this company seems to have acquired Joseph Elliot and Sons (Sheffield) Limited and its subsidiaries. It is not clear from the collection how this business relationship developed, but it seems that Elliots maintained a degree of autonomy within the arrangement.
