Slim, there great old ones in fine shapeslimpickins wrote:Here's a couple I have pics of. The Hendrichs whittler is 4 1/4 inches, red stag and pinched bolsters that looks in natural light to be brass and artificial light like nickle silver. Maybe its just my eyes. Goins says 1922-26 but spells it with a k. The other one is a Corliss, 3 1/4 inch wharncliffe. circa 1900-10. I wish I could take better pics. Slim.
She does.......They just donot admit it.My wife has asked me why I always seem to have one hand in my pocket. If I told her I had my hand wrapped around an old stag whittler or bone congress she wouldn't understand.
Thanks Paul.paulsvintage wrote:Nice Knives Wullie ! but even better pictures are you using photo shop ? you guys are killing me with these great pictures
I think you are right. If it were celluloid I think there would be at the very least some shrinkage, but I see no evidence of it in your picture. There doesn't appear to be any beetle damage to the handle either, (this is a GOOD thing!)slimpickins wrote:Orvet, as far as I can tell it is. The mark side shows the most translucentcy and I recall a thread on this forum that being a premium material, the mark side will show more color with the pile side flatter. At least that the way I remember it.I only paid a few bucks for it and was pretty sure at the time it was genuine tortoise. Slim.
