I've heard several times that Lakeside was Ward's second line.

But I have a Lakeside chisel. It is a standard (when standard meant 
something)  fully bevelled bench chisel.
  A socket chisel with 6" of useable blade.

   If this chisel is not really a Whitherby, I will kiss a pig.
Having had and seen Whitherbys, as well as many other brands, the signs 
I can see and the age of the chisel, point to a single conclusion. At 
least to me.
   Construction is dead on. Polish and texture of steel against the 
stone. Hardness, edge retention, all are bang on and definitely no ones 
second line of anything!
   It is one of my favorite chisels and has been for years. If I could 
get 12 more chisels just like the one I have? You better believe I'd 
take them, in a heartbeat.

   So it appears the Lakeside MW branding must have appeared on a range 
of product qualities. At least to me.

  I really love it when nobody wants something spectacular because of 
the name on it!
    yours Scott
