Jim wants info on and WTB C. Taylor chisels marked Toledo. Chuck thinks
because the sizes are metric that Toledo might be Spain.

I think Toledo refers to Toledo Steel, and that Charles Taylor was
British, but nobody from that island has chimed in yet and it wouldn't
make sense to have Toledo Steel and Swedish Steel on the same chisel so
maybe I'm just so far off-base that I shouldn't even hit send on this...

Checking records of the Old Bailey finds numerous Charles Taylor's
appeared in the court. The only trades I could find in my quick search
were shoemaker, builder, candy seller, baker and pawnbroker, although on
21 Feb 1828 one Charles Taylor did steal a piece of mahogany, a plane,
oilstone, chisel, gauge, hammer, pair of saw handles - and at the time
he was working for a cabinetmaker. Joe M.
