Hollow Sword Blade Company
http://dbpedia.org/resource/Hollow_Sword_Blade_Company an entity of type: Company
The Hollow Sword Blades Company was a British joint-stock company founded in 1691 by a goldsmith, Sir , for the manufacture of hollow-ground rapiers. In 1700 the company was purchased by a syndicate of businessmen who used the corporate identity of the company to operate as a bank. At this time the Bank of England held a monopoly by act of parliament as the only organisation permitted to operate as a bank in England, so anyone wishing to carry out banking operations had to do so by devious means. The company was used as a stepping stone to the foundation of the South Sea Company which set out to supplant the Bank of England as banker to the government.
