All we know about this brand name is that it was owned by Joseph Peace & Co,

Joseph Peace (1817 - 1894) was born in Sheffield, the son of Samuel (1796 - 1869), a saw maker, and his wife, Jane.
Joseph initially worked with his father but eventually set up his own business in Forge Lane as a saw, file, and edge tool manufacturer. After several incarnations involving various partners, the business became insolvent in 1872.
The assets were purchased by, amongst others, the Sheffield Steel & Manufacturing Co. which itself went into liquidation in 1887. The Joseph Peace brand was resurrected as a manufacturer of steel, saws, machine knives, and garden tools. Joseph Peace & Co Ltd continued under various ownerships and was listed in directories until 1961.

At some point, the company acquired several trademarks including 'SEE-SAW', 'OCTOPUS' and 'S. BLAYDON'. The origins of the Blaydon trademark are not clear, nor is the connection to Joseph Peace & Co.
