Hi, i see this is an old topic but in hopes someone will reply.
Im from South Africa
After my fathers passing i came across 2 shovels and a fork in the shed. 1 Shovel and the fork is branded C.T. Skelton & Co but the other one is branded Brades & Skelton. Why did these tools have different brands? Also what year would they be?, as the wood handles looks like new. ( Oh and all three of them have the old style T handles)
