-----Original Message-----

It appears that Toledo is/was an Australian hand tool maker, established
"more than 60 years ago", and now owned by Tridon Australia of Silverwater
(apparently part of Sydney). Tridon was founded in 1976, so it appears that
they bought Toledo. My information comes from the Tridon web pages at
http://www.tridon.com.au.

A different Toledo!! Toldeo brand chisels are common in Oz, but were made in
Sweden, probably post-WW2. Charles Taylor carving chisels/gouges are also
common in Oz.

Charles Taylor the firm was around until quite recently I think; when did it
expire? Or is it still around?
