Alexander Mathieson & Sons
The firm of Alexander Mathieson & Sons was one of the leading makers of hand tools in Scotland. Its success went hand in hand with the growth of the shipbuilding industries on the Firth of Clyde in the nineteenth century and the emergence of Glasgow as the "second city of the Empire". It also reflected the firm's skill in responding to an unprecedented demand for quality tools by shipyards, cooperages and other industries, both locally and far and wide.
==Early years==
The year 1792 was deemed by the firm to be that of its foundation;〔The ''Edinburgh Evening News'' of 4 June 1892 reported the company's centenary celebrations of the previous day.〕 it was in all likelihood the year in which John Manners had set up his plane-making workshop on Saracen('s) Lane off the Gallowgate〔The ''Glasgow Directory'' for 1799 records a Manners working as a plane-maker in Saracen's Lane. A record for the year 1792 has not yet been found. Manners, the plane-maker makes a last appearance in the ''Glasgow Directory'' of 1822, p. 135.〕 in the heart of Glasgow, not far from the Saracen's Head Inn,〔Demolished in 1905. See House, Jack. ''The Heart of Glasgow''. Castle Douglas: (Neil Wilson Publishing ), 2011 ISBN 978-1-906000-57-8.〕 where Dr. Johnson and James Boswell had stayed on their tour of Scotland in 1773.〔Boswell, James. ''Boswell's Life of Johnson''.〕
Alexander Mathieson (1797–1851) is recorded in 1822 as a plane-maker at 25 Gallowgate, but in the following year at 14 Saracen's Lane, presumably having taken over the premises of John Manners.〔''Glasgow Directory'' for 1822, p. 137, two pages after John Manners; ''Glasgow Directory'' for 1823, p. 142.〕 The 1841 national census described Alexander Mathieson as a master plane-maker at 38 Saracen Lane with his son Thomas Adam working as a journeyman plane-maker.
