Ulster made some stout barlows. The later ones were some of the ugliest barlows ever made, in my opinion, but the old ones looked pretty good.

Hey "Just Plain Dave"----I believe that W. Wright is an Early Sheffield, Goins encyclopedia has an A. Wright & Sons Sheffield along with the "W. Wright" stamping. In my opinion, its probably Pre-1891 because their is NO country of origin. Is definetely a very unusual & obscure name---Thx Mark

First of all thank you for displaying your wonderful early Barlows made in Sheffield. My interest comes from studying the life of my Oates ancestors and finding knives made by him and his peers is great.. This particular Barlow has a very unusual mark. the "Z" is clearly the wrong way round compared to the mark of Samuel Barlow and his ancestors John and Samuel. When the last Samuel Barlow of Neepsend died in 1850 he left the business in his will to Henry mills, his son-in-law. Henry officially registered the mark to himself in 1851 but his mark punches were different in that his "Z" was the wrong way round (I do not know whether this was deliberate or a mistake, but once made that is what he registered and used). He continued to use the Barlow name on his knives. Therefore this knife was made by Henry Mills at the Neepsend factory between 1851 and 1881 (when Henry died).
