Mission Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 I have seen the John Brailsford Cutlery card somewhere recently. I can't remember where, though. If I recall correctly, I believe it dates to the mid/late 18th century. [Edit] Yep, that looks about right. Here is Brailsford's will, dated 1779. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
