Sterling Service chisels - toolmiser - 11-23-2024

I was at a garage sale a while ago and picked up four chisels marked "Sterling Service".  Largest is about 2" wide and the smallest is probably 1/2" wide.  A couple handles need replacement (could they be hickory), and they have a little pitting in spots.  

They came with 3 very cheap black plastic Stanley chisels, and all were in a usable canvas roll.

I paid $15.00 which I thought was a good deal.  Family was happy they were going to someone who appreciated them.

I see very little of that name online. If you care to share any info about them, I would appreciate it.

Has anybody ever heard of them, if so are they any good?

Thanks

Never heard of that brand marking. As "sterling service" is a term often used in England to indicate quality and long lasting use, I'd suspect they were branded for the UK, Canadian or Australian market, but that's just a guess; and there is currently a "Sterling" brand of chisels in Austraila. Perhaps the fellas here can help a bit (best WWing forum in Oz):
