Re: Old Knives with Rare Tang Stamps
Nice find Harold. Those old junk store and flea market finds are the best! Goins says Tenk Hardware Co., Quincy Ill. was largest wholesale hardware business in the area, sold "Tenk's Clipper Brand" pocket knives 1891-1925. Many were made by Ulster and Utica. Company was founded by Henry Tenk Jr. and his brother Herman in 1865 and was in business until 1967.stockman wrote:A old relic I found in a junk store. 3 7/8" Trapper.

Tang stamp:
IROQUOUS
MADE IN USA
1930s probably made by Utica.

Re: Old Knives with Rare Tang Stamps
Nice ones fellas. Roger and Harold, I think Camillus also made a long spey like that. Dale may have one I think,just memory,so I could be wrong.

Re: Old Knives with Rare Tang Stamps
Here's one I picked up at Wilmington this past weekend. Eagleton Knife Co . Reversed etched Old Berks.Then on the back someone went and writ on it.
All Goins says is 1875-1900.Levines says 1890 Germany. That's it.I would like to know more if anyone has any info.

Re: Old Knives with Rare Tang Stamps
Peanut,
There is another forum topic titled "Old and Obscure Brands" that hasn't been posted to in over a year. If you search there you will find a bit more information. See the following posted by "trail" on page 27 of that thread:
"Eagleton Knife Company was a brand of Wester & Butz, an old maker in the Merscheid borough of Solingen dating back to 1832. My books show that the Eagleton stamp was used circa 1890, and the lack of a country of origin stamp persuades me that this knife was made before 1891."

Re: Old Knives with Rare Tang Stamps
Part of the stamp on this knife isn't all this rare but the other part I know nothing about. Let me know your thoughts.
Re: Old Knives with Rare Tang Stamps
Here's one that isn't in Levines or Goins. I've sure never heard of it before I bought this one. It's been laying in a drawer in my desk for a few years and I can't remember where I got it. Too bad it has a broken pen blade because the rest of the knife is good. The handles are solid brass and it's heavy. Both blades are stamped Deweys
