This print showcases the iconic William Marples and Sons Ltd. Tool Makers, located at Hibernia Works on Westfield Terrace in Sheffield. The year is 1938, a time when the city's cutlery industry was thriving. In this image, we see a catalogue and price list of their renowned Shamrock brand tools, which were highly sought after by craftsmen across various trades. The catalogues serve as a testament to the company's commitment to excellence and innovation in tool manufacturing. The photograph captures the essence of Sheffield's industrial heritage, with its focus on steel production and craftsmanship. It symbolizes the city's reputation as a hub for skilled artisans who shaped raw materials into high-quality products. Hibernia Works itself stands tall in the background, an architectural marvel that housed Marples' division dedicated to producing these exceptional tools. Its location on Westfield Terrace placed it conveniently within Sheffield's bustling city center – an ideal spot for trade and commerce. While this photo does not explicitly mention commercial use, it highlights how Marples effectively promoted their products through catalogues and advertisements like these. Their marketing efforts played a crucial role in establishing Shamrock as a trusted trademark synonymous with precision and durability.
