This print showcases the historic William Marples and Sons Ltd. Tool Makers, located at Hibernia Works on Westfield Terrace in Sheffield. The image takes us back to 1938, a time when this renowned company was thriving in the heart of Sheffield's bustling cutlery industry. The focal point of the photograph is a meticulously designed catalogue and price list featuring their esteemed Shamrock brand tools. This document represents not only a comprehensive guide for potential buyers but also serves as a testament to the craftsmanship and innovation that defined Marples' legacy. The print offers a glimpse into an era where trade catalogues played a vital role in advertising products, attracting customers from far and wide. It symbolizes the dedication of Marples' skilled tool manufacturers who were committed to producing high-quality steel tools that would stand the test of time.
