He must have been prolific as Charles Taylor, Sheffield tools are reasonably
common in this part of the world. I have numerous chisels and possibly a
gouge with this branding.

With respect to Toledo, chisels with this branding are also common around
here. I cannot provide any more information on their provenance, but often
their appearance mimics chisels branded E.A. Berg.
