S. & J. KITCHIN
Sheffield
Manufacturers of any classes of table cutlery and electroplate. Founded in 1853 by Samuel Kitchin (1821-1866). After his death, restyled S.& J. Kitchin by his brother John Kitchin (1839-1894). After the death of John Kitchin (1894) the property was maintained under the control of Kitchin family. They were the owners of G.A. Close Youle & Co Ltd (acquired in 1924), Snake Brand Products Ltd and various trademarks including "FAME ", "DURATION " and "SUPERLATIVE. In 1960, Kitchin abandoned cutlery manufacture.
As they were brothers it is quite possible that S & J Bros LTD was used on some products under the registered snake trade mark.
