E. Wild & Sons NYC - Williamsburg, Brooklyn mid 1800's E Wild & Sons Approved Cutlery. Goins and Levine both list E Wild as an early New York maker along with other members of the Wild family. The 1841 census for Broad Lane, Sheffield, England there is an Ebenezer Wild listed as a Pen knife cutler. Later an Ebenezer Wild appears on the 1850 census for Williamsburg NY and is described as a cutler. It seems that Ebenezer Wild and family might traveled back and forth to England with his family a few times. Despite it being clear he did make cutlery in New York according to the census I do wonder if this was something of a contract knife, or to what degree the knife was made in New York. Either way, this an early piece of American cutlery history.
