Re: Old HIBBARD, SPENCER & BARTLET---OVB---Knives
I have seen this knife in my Grandpa's fishing toolbox since I can remember, and I am 52 now. It keeps a wonderful edge and has a snap to the 90 degree position and another clean snap into the fully open position. It is over 5 inches closed, and just under 10 inches when open. It shows model number 063, but I don't know if they labeled a name with the model number. I happened onto this thread and thought I would add to the wonderful knives showcased here. Thanks for sharing all your great photos!

Welcome here.
What a beauty of a knife. The 90 degree position is called a half stop.
Your Grandfather kept it in very good condition. Usually fishing knives don't look that good.
No doubt you treasure it.

Re: Old HIBBARD, SPENCER & BARTLET---OVB---Knives
Hey Thanks for the warm welcome. I have so many different knives (Buck, Case, Smith & Wesson non-folding skinner, Victorinox - at least 13 of these, Western, Sharp, Kershaw Amphibian non-folding, Schrade, Winchester Boy Scout - circa 1940, KA-BAR 3-in-1 Hobo set with fork, spoon, and lock back knife which all separate, Rapala) that I can't keep track of all of them, and especially where they all are located! http://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/kni ... 35&t=18739#
I'll try to put up some photos of them later on, when I round them all up. Not sure which thread to post them under though. Some are folding, others are larger with sheathes. And don't even get me started on Kitchen Knives like Gerber, Case, Henckles and Messermeister. Sheesh!
Thanks again for the welcome.

Didn't see any fixed blades posted so I dug this one out and took a couple pics.Don't know who made it for them(possibly Utica)but it has nice bone scales and a tapered tang even though the blade has been shortened quite a bit.Might have been an Outer's pattern originally as the blade is a bit wide for a standard hunter.Picked it up for a couple dollars awhile back.

Received this Grand Dad Barlow yesterday. I was surprised at the size of it when I pulled it out of the box.

Nice knife, John. You mentioned how you were surprised at how large it was when you pulled it out of the box. How large is this knife?
Re: Old HIBBARD, SPENCER & BARTLET---OVB---Knives
5" long closed, 9" open, here it is next to a normal Barlow.Markstar42 wrote:Nice knife, John. You mentioned how you were surprised at how large it was when you pulled it out of the box. How large is this knife?

I love seeing all these old Hibbards!!!!
Re: Old HIBBARD, SPENCER & BARTLET---OVB---Knives
Found this recently in an antique place. Other than needing a good cleaning, it's in fine shape. Any ideas on age? Any opinions on manufacturer. It does have milled liners.
Re: Old HIBBARD, SPENCER & BARTLET---OVB---Knives
Wonderful knives all.
Welcome Markstar, that is a REALLY fine old knife from your grandpa. Thanks for sharing it!
Dirtyfonzie, those are in great shape. Gotta love that pick bone
Greetings Ribbit. That looks to be Camillus made. Goins' lists True Value from 1930-1959.

..k7k, that looks identical to 2 of my old Camillus fixed blades(handle shape,pin placement, guard and blade)- I think the blade is just worn down.....both mine have rogers bone and are 4 line stamped(1914-1941) ..... ..knife7knut wrote:Didn't see any fixed blades posted so I dug this one out and took a couple pics.Don't know who made it for them(possibly Utica)but it has nice bone scales and a tapered tang even though the blade has been shortened quite a bit.Might have been an Outer's pattern originally as the blade is a bit wide for a standard hunter.Picked it up for a couple dollars awhile back.

Here's a nice old toe that Muskrat Man dressed up with new scales.

Beauty Joe! MM did some fine work. I love the long pull and nail nick combo.

Picked up this fixed blade yesterday, looks almost unused, really top notch bone. Anyone have any idea of a date range for this knife.
Re: Old HIBBARD, SPENCER & BARTLET---OVB---Knives
That is a beauty, John! Great bone, crisp tang stamp and full blade. No idea on date range.

Pruner for the lady,and a beautiful bone handled fixed bld. for you. I thought at first they might both (as HSB used NYK)have been NYK,but that bone on this one doesn't seem NYK to me.
Nice recent pickups John.

Re: Old HIBBARD, SPENCER & BARTLET---OVB---Knives
Except for the scales I think that fixed blade was likely what my knife looked like before someone got a bit overzealous with a grinder Anyway here is another off-type HSB I picked up awhile back: a carver with the Rev-O-Noc stamp.

Just FYI for those that have an interest in HSB/OVB; there is a nice looking 1923 company catalog on Ebay right now.
Priced at $125.00, so it's not cheap.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hibbard-Spencer ... SwwpdW-qMP
I bought one of these years ago in an antiques store in Saint Augustine for $110 and sold it for $150 at the next knife show I attended.
That one had a beautiful color section of pocketknives that looked to be all New York Knife products.

Re: Old HIBBARD, SPENCER & BARTLET---OVB---Knives
Thanks Dan, thanks Lyle. Can find very little out there on these as far as date range and who made it.
Re: Old HIBBARD, SPENCER & BARTLET---OVB---Knives
Found this 2-3/4" MOP 2 blade yesterday at a flea market... Tang is marked Hibbard, Spencer & Bartlett Co on one side and OVB on the other. No idea what the age is...

An old HS&B Moose. Bought this one back in the early 1990s at a Long Island antique show. The old man who sold it, told me he worked for Ulster. He had two knives, this and an Ulster TL-29. Both of them were in unused condition.....I bought them both. Barry
