Thomas Ellin & Co Vulcan Carving Set Carbon Stag & Sterling Handles with Box Sylvester Works Sheffield, England 1912 - 3 Pieces

Carving set from the Thomas Ellin Company of Sheffield England made with steel from their Vulcan Works steel manufactory also in Sheffield. 

The silver marks on the ferrules and butt caps are from 1912 (gothic lowercase u), a time when the older 19th century techniques and style were still certainly in use; a forged 'puddled steel' steel blade and iron bolster on knife, a narrow tined fork with a swinging two tined spring construction and hand cut grooves on the steel. All have a grooved collar bolster and a custom fit box. 

Interestingly the box and knife lack the word 'England' which suggests this was not intended for export to the USA, Canada was an export market for Thomas Ellin but they did not mandate the country of origin like the USA.
