Moseley & Simpson?

One of the most-read posts on Hackney Tools is about the life of tool maker John Moseley.
A reader of the blog got in touch recently about a pair of mortice chisels he had been given and the name stamp in ‘Moseley & Simpson’. I wondered if anyone might know more about this partnership, as I don’t unfortunately.

If you have any info, please post it here in the comments section, it would be interesting to know when and where Mr.Simpson got involved.

James, your info about Moseley & Son being at 63 New Oxford Street is exactly what I need to date the sweet 1/8″ side bead that I have. Thanks.
