The Glo-Hill company was founded in Montreal around 1945 by two brothers in law named Jack Globus and Harry Hill. At the start of the 1950s, the production swelled and began to encompass carving sets and various steak knives. The company continued it success into the 1960s, and 70s where it began to offer chrome plated items such as platters, tea sets, saucers and more. The company changed its name to the Glo-Hill corporation with its newly found success. This type of item was a common gift for traditional weddings in Canada. Glo-Hill would eventually close its doors for good in 1979. La compagnie Glo-Hill a été fondée à Montréal vers 1945 par deux amis aussi beaux-frères, Jack Globus et Harry Hill. Au début des années 1950, la production s'élargit et incluait des ensembles à découper et des couteaux à steak. La firme a pris de l'ampleur au cours des années 1960 et 1970 et offrait aussi des items en chrome tels plateaux, service de thé, sauciers, etc. La firme changea de nom pour Glo-Hill Corporation. Elle ferma en 1978-1979. Ce genre d'item figure aussi parmi les cadeaux de mariage traditionnel donnés au Canada.
Function
Boning knives have curved blades in order to facilitate the removal of bones when preparing meats such as poultry or fish. The thin blade allows for a better precision when cutting with the grain. Un couteau à désosser a une lame courbée pour faciliter l'enlèvement des os en préparent des viandes comme du poisson ou la volaille. La lame est mince et permet pour une meilleure précision en coupant dans le sens du grain de la viande.
Technical
Jack Globus was the mind behind all objects created at Glo-Hill. The moulds and the machinery were created by various employees at the firm. The handles and accessories made of Bakelite were made directly in a factory that counted a total of 160 employees. Jack Globus était le concepteur des objets. Les moules et la machinerie de moulage étaient produits par les employés de la firme. Les manches et accessoires en Bakelite étaient faits à l’usine. La firme compta jusqu’à 160 employés.
