Picked up the Case from Charlie Compagna and his private pile. Looooooooooooooooooove the saw cut bone and the red bone. Nice condition too. The Drake Well Queen from another seller at the OKCA show. Loooooooooooooooove the Queen Saw Cut bone too. And man did Queen put together some sweet Drake Well commemorative knives in 1972. Cannot say enough about these knives.

Picked up a pretty rare Labelle 3 blade barlow, Goins has 1884-1891. They were in Bridgeport Conn. This is one of those bolster stamps I knew about but never thought would find an example.

Thanks for the mention of the Case and Queen. That one you posted is cool too. Love the bolsters. Another company I've never heard of. You amaze me with being able to continuously find gems. Kudos.

IM, did you see the Wards Barlow Charlie got from me at the show?
I had put stag on it and made a single blade out of it as the pen blade was broken and I didn't have a replacement blade to fit it.
I finished it just before the show and forgot to take any pics! ::dang:: ::dang::

I did not see that. I was only there Saturday, might have missed it if he had it Sunday. Sounds like a beauty though. Love to see some pics if you have any. Thanks for the info.

JohnR, I would be amazed if someone else showed that one but it fits right in with your stuff. Love that you share them with us.

Thanks for the comments on the La Belle everyone ::tu:: ::tu::

Here are 3 Camillus barlows, the 10 and 11 pattern which is a larger beefier barlow than most. A 4 line, a short line and a longline. The 10's were spears and the 11's clips.

Beauties, John, you never disappoint.

Thank you Iman, Camillus did have some nice saw cut, they also used saw cut ebony for awhile, I would guess pre WW2 as they are stamped Sword Brand. I have spear main, clip and spey, don't know if they had a TIP TOP sheepsfoot but if they did I need one.
Repost of an earlier pic to show the ebony.
