'Turnback Tuesday' visits Carl Lutters Cutlery & Grinders in Derby

Turnback Tuesday visits the short-lived business, Carl Lutters Cutlery & Grinders.

Carl was employed by the Williams Typewriter Co. from 1905-1907. J. Newton Williams was an inventor and manufacturer of typewriters. While Carl was working for him, he opened up his cutlery business out of his home in 1906 at 141 Hawkins St. Unfortunately his business only lasted for the year and by 1907 he moved to NY.
