NOTE
T. S. Hattersley was founded in 1890 by Thomas Sands Hattersley.

He began making cricket bats at a small factory in Eccles, Manchester, England.

Field (grass) Hockey sticks and tennis rackets were added to the products offered as business expanded.

Thomas Hattersley died in 1910 and the business was continued on by his son John.

The first lacrosse sticks were manufactured in 1912 in response to an increasing interest in the game from schools and the formation of lacrosse clubs, particularly in the Manchester area of England.

Production had to be scaled down at the start of the 1st World War and the company focused on making lacrosse sticks for the girls schools, as many of the young men were called to war duty.

After the war, in about 1918 the company focused in the manufacture and sale of lacrosse products, and in particular the hickory lacrosse sticks 'Viktoria' which became a benchmark in stick design.

The lacrosse sticks were all hand made by steaming and bending the American hickory.
