This cutlery manufacturer, which was based at 94 Arundel Street, marketed (inter alia) stainless table knives. The owner was Randolph Booth (1904-1991). He was born at Tinsley, the son of Tedbar John Booth (1871-1932) and Sarah Ann née Green.  The family came from Ecclesfield, where T. J. Booth was a professor of music and was well-known in the district as a viola player. He was also a Wesleyan. He was an associate of Walter Gregory – another musician and Methodist from Ecclesfield. Gregory operated cutlery manufacturer Gregory & Co at Cambridge Street in Sheffield.  T. J. Booth became a partner. He died in Sheffield on 22 August 1932, leaving £873, and was buried in unconsecrated ground at Ecclesfield Cemetery (Penistone, Stocksbridge & Hoyland Express, 27 August 1932).

Randolph initially followed a musical career. He once played cello in the orchestra of a transatlantic liner. After his father’s death, he joined Walter Gregory as co-director of his cutlery business. Randolph founded his own firm after the Second World War. Randolph Booth, cutlery manufacturer, was listed first at Eyre Lane (1948) and then at Arundel Street (1951). A decade later it was a private limited company. In 1967, Booth’s was listed as a silversmith at John Street. However, by then Randolph Booth had probably retired and the name acquired by the Sipelia Group (See B & J Sippel Ltd). The latter dissolved R. Booth Ltd in 1972. Randolph Booth died at Sutton-on-Sea, Mablethorpe, on 14 December 1991, aged 87. His estate was valued at £125,000.
