Cornelius Whitehouse appeared to have several trademarks, some of which are featured here. I have now added two letterheads dating from around 1925. Click here to go to them |

CW&S - another Whitehouse logo | |||||||

When Cornelius's Son was born he added a Crown logo to the hooks
in celebration. I am also advised that there hooks depicting "Whitehouse and Son" when he had one son. |

Need a sharpen sir!
Came across this image of two people sharpening a sickle. Unsure of the date, but it appears to be old, has the name "Daniel Witchell" on the back. I suspect the trough should be full of water. Looks to have a piece of string holding his trousers up- round his neck. Not sure of its origin. Click on image to view
