Elephant Brand, Non Pareil by W. Tyzack and Turner.

They were a tool supplier. Some of the circular saw blades we used at work were made by them, not so dissimilar if you think about it.

Thanks, Henry and Lowespeed. It does indeed look like a circular blade and can see why they had a foot in the clutch pressure plate business.

Interesting- another item not made 'in house'.

Small ears — an Indian elephant used to hard work like pulling teak logs out of the jungle — very appropriate on an Austin seven clutch plate.

W Tyzack Sons and Turner operated from what is now the Abbeydale Industrial Museum in Sheffield up until 1933.
Cheers,

I have inherited handsaws from the 1920s and earlier with that brand.
The splines can become grossly worn but, as with other cars, it is remarkable that virtually no wear normally occurs despite near dry operation.

The logo script Nonpareil = Having no match or equal (unrivalled). True given they're still in use after 80 years.
