Re: Old and Obscure Brands
There must have been thousands of tiny knife-making operations in Germany before the Second World War. Here is another example. I have found nothing whatsoever about this knife, it is just another worn out, nondescript pen knife with an unusual stamp.
Re: Old and Obscure Brands
Knifegirl posted a Sterling back on page 5 of this thread and here is another. The two knives are about as different as knives can be, hers being a large peachseed bone handled jack and mine being a tiny MOP handled pen. Mine measures just 2 1/4 inches closed and is dwarfed by the S&M jack behind it.

Re: Old and Obscure Brands
Eagleton co. A Solingen based manufacturer. According to my research, the tang stamp indicates 1890 production.
This knife is solid like the day it was made, though unfortunately one of its previous owners was enthusiastic using the grinder

edgy46, That an interesting old knife and the written info helps with the history, but what is the knife leaning on(2nd pic) that has the name Newington? Just curious. Treefarmer

Re: Old and Obscure Brands
Interesting knife and intriguing history. Do you think his partner John Clauss, who bought out his interest in Elyria Shear Company, might be the founder of Clauss Cutlery of Fremont, OH?
Re: Old and Obscure Brands
That's a bird call. Various bird-like sounds and chirps can be made according to how you twist the metal "plug" into the hole in the wood part of the device. When it doesn't chirp as well as you want, apply a little powdered rosin to 'tune' it up.treefarmer wrote:edgy46, That an interesting old knife and the written info helps with the history, but what is the knife leaning on(2nd pic) that has the name Newington?

If it's meant for me to have it, it'll still be there.
Re: Old and Obscure Brands
Good call Fran.
It belongs to my daughter, and it will drive her cat mad looking around for the bird.

Re: Old and Obscure Brands
Here is one I got today from Bob R.
Wade Wingfield & Rothbottom
No.82 Tenter St. Sheffield
Blade Etch:
W.T. Hancock & Co.
308 High Holborn
A search of that name, shows they were a sporting gun dealer. There is one Birmingham gun, made for the trade with their name on it. Boothroyd lists them at that address with Watson from 1886 to 1890.

Those English were a happy lot in the 19th Century.
Practically EVERYTHING with an edge was "celebrated" at one time another.
Neat little knife and stamp.
