Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
Wow, two LaBelle Barlow's! And a very nice Miller bro's
Now here's a question, do you have a Winchester (old) daddy Barlow?

No I don't. I honestly don't have very many Daddy Barlows.

Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
Matt, have to agree with Dimitri, what a fantastic collection of vintage Barlows. I did see a Gardner in that display case, here is an unusual unfinished one.

Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
I agree, TWO LaBelle's and a lovely Miller Bros, now that is pretty darn neat! Is one of the LaBelles ebony and one the black composition? The condition is fantastic Matt, you really have a fantastic collection. Also, is the one stamped M.B.C Co. on the beveled edge bolster and with a razor blade a Miller Bros? Interesting that it has a square kick.Miller Bro's wrote:Wow, two LaBelle Barlow's! And a very nice Miller bro's

The LaBelles both have the same handle material and yes the one is a Miller Bros.

Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
Wonderful Washington Set there Mr. Matt,,Love how you show BOTH the 1-blade Washington and 2-blade model, even the handles look nearly identical,,Very nice
Rare Hibbard w/ BONE Handles too,,Superb knife Mr. Jim
Of course the only comment that comes to mind for The Barlow collection by Mr. Matt is WOW,,,Eyes Popping out of my Head and My Heart Racing, LOL
Last but not least JohnR is your Killer Gardner,,Fabulous knife Sir. Is it me or is the Barehead side SQUARE? I not ever see any like that and it reminds me of them not yet finished with the handles Just yet,,They would have contoured both edges correct??
Kind Regards,
Mark

A Kastor Brothers brand, possibly imported before they bought the factory in Camillus, N.Y. from Millard Robeson circa 1900, although they might have continued that brand after that. I don't know.
Nice looking knife, too.

Great looking Wadsworth Cato. It sure has pretty jigging.
Matt, you have a wonderful collection. I love the pattern of the Southington barlow bolster.

Cato, great jigging on the Wadsworth.
I got a thing for these Queen Anniversary Barlows, made in 1972 for Queens 50 year anniversary, they really have some nice saw cut bone.

Re: The Venerable Old Barlow
Hey GUYS and GALS, I would like to chime in tonight w/ some thoughts and of course a couple Barlows!!! The BARLOW has been one of MY Favorite knives too since I was a KID and I have been WILDLY fascinated by them over the years. It came to me this evening while I was talking to a Great friend about Barlows that I Just could not help myself but to post my thoughts.
This is one of the Barlow knives that I had been searching for a LONG LONG time to find,,Pictured below
More to Follow my friends
Kind Regards
Mark
