Description	Original photograph of The Clyde Cutlery and staff in 1897. The Hunter brothers, Milo, Chester and William, toolmakers from the Norwalk area, built a stone flour mill in Clyde in 1863, with an edge tool shop adjoining the mill. One of the brothers was partner in Yeaman and Hunter, noted in a 1868 newspaper as operators of the Clyde Manufacturing Co., which was an edge tool manufactory. In 1870 the Hunter Edge Tool Works, manufacturing the Hunter Pruning Shear, was built. In 1877, Chester or William A. Hunter and his partners, under the firm name “Hunter and Brigham” erected the iron-clad elevator just east of the Star Mills. Milo Hunter died in 1877. In 1880, Chester Hunter dissolved his partnership with B.O. Brigham, and in 1882 took Timothy Wilcox as partner in “Hunter and Wilcox”. The fire on July 6, 1883 destroyed the Hunter and Wilcox mills. In 1892, the Hunter Tool Works were sold and renamed The Clyde Cutlery Co. Incorporated in 1904, at one time the business had over 200 workers on its payroll working three shifts a day. It remained in business under various owners until it proved unable to recover from a fire that destroyed the manufacturing division in July of 1970.
