Looky what I just fished out of the bay!
Got this pretty cheap. I am anxious to see it in person. It is about 3 1/2" wide.
The Remschied Boker family branch exported tools and Boker knives around the world. The Henry Boker name was mostly known for tools, but they were a well known knife label in Australia. This plaque's most recent home was Mexico.
Now, what the heck am I gonna do with it? hmmmm.

Now you just have to find a gigantic knife to put it on.
Seems like usually the knife is missing the shield. In this case the shield is missing the knife.

GREAT catch Blue!! That would look really nice on some type of old wooden chest or knife box of some sort. Congrats.
A pocket knife is still an intimate personal possession of the individual who carries it and consequently deserves the best of materials, finish and workmanship in its production. (Quoted from Boker's 1928 cutlery catalog).

That's a great idea! I have an old gerstner tool box laying around here somewhere - might make a nice knife box...thegreedygulo wrote:That would look really nice on some type of old wooden chest or knife box of some sort.
