H.
Witherby is somewhat of a mystery man.
Chisels marked "T.
H.
Witherby" are among the most highly sought-after chisels among users of old tools and many people associate T.
H.
Witherby with Winsted, CT, and the Winsted EdgeTool Works.
But he lived his whole life in Shrewsbury, Millbury, or Worcester,
MA.
He was one of the premier edge tool makers of the mid-19th century, known far and wide beyond Millbury, Mass.
but had nothing to do with the Winsted Edge Tool Works.
Most of the chisels that we find today which are marked "T.
H Witherby" were manufactured in Winsted, but the reputation for quality was forged in Millbury.
