Возможно Thomas Lund. Thomas Lund opened his premises at 56 & 57 Cornhill, London in 1814 but it is thought that his business was first established in 1804. The 1815 Post Office Directory lists him as: 'Lund Tho. Cutler & Manuf. Of Pens & Quills, Importer of Filtering Stones, fitted up for use, Warehouses, 56 & 57 Cornhill.' He soon moved onto selling writing and dressing boxes and became known for his chess pieces, whose pattern are referred to by his surname. An invoice of Lund's from 1838 shows an image of the shop front at 56 & 57 Cornhill with his signage listing his wares as 'Letter Copying Machines, Portable Writing Desks, Dressing Cases & Morocco Articles of Every Description'. The shop also has a sign calling it the London Cutlery Warehouse.
