Colonel Tools, Sheffield

Liverpool Echo, 20 Apr. 1959
Tools labeled "Colonel Sheffield" have mystified collectors and others for at least 20 years. It was a house brand for Woolworths stores in the United Kingdom in the 1950s. The tools were manufactured by an unknown firm in Sheffield exclusively for Woolworths, and included trowels, paint scrapers, screwdrivers, and wood chisels.
