The Sheffield Smelting Company, Ltd. was a subsidiary of Engelhard Industries of Great Britain. Sheffield Smelting was founded in 1760 on the site of former Royds Brewery.

Sheffield was originally an Anglo Saxon settlement called Escafeld or Ecclesfield, and was later named Sheffield after the River Sheaf that runs through it.

Engelhard eventually sold the company around 1984 to Solder Products. It is currently Thessco Limited, producer of brazing alloys, electrical contact raw materials, Silversmithing alloys trade as well as precious metal coin blanks.

Example presented was sourced directly from Great Britain in December, 2014, from a private collection.
