Southington Cutlery Co

This company may have started working as early as 1867, but possibly under
some other name. The name was changed to Southington Hdw. Co. ca. 1908 and
that company (which used the brand name SOHACO) worked into the 1950's.

Mark was  CS Co (with the "S Co" inside a large "C" inside a diamond
outline)

I have a small square by them, just used it yesteday.
