Does anyone own a Simmons Pony Barlow or even have or know where their is a photo of one.
I have personally seen a box for them and Goins says they were made in the 1880s but I would like to at least see a picture of one.
Thanks, Kerry

Never seen one. I'd like to see the rest of that catalog, though.

Re: Simmons Pony Barlow
You and I think alike Dan!! I was just thinking the same thing. 
We have a thread on catalog images. Of Course, I know it takes a little time and work, but if Dave wanted to share a few more pages..... he could post the images here. viewtopic.php?f=35&t=42557
But on the topic of the Barlow, I will have to look into that one. I've not seen one either. Thanks for posting Ludwig.

Re: Simmons Pony Barlow
First time I have heard the term,"Pony Barlow". I assume it refers to the smaller size of a standard Barlow. There aren't any dimensions on the catalog items but I have a Swanworks Barlow made in Germany that looks to be the same size. The only one I have ever seen in that size. Here is a pic of it.

Re: Simmons Pony Barlow
Here is a link to the full 12 page catalogue. I have to say that I can see no date on it but the seller claims it was 1890.

I like that Pony Barlow bolster.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Re: Simmons Pony Barlow
Thanks for posting that link, Dave. I am surprised the seller did not put a digital watermark on the pages

Re: Simmons Pony Barlow
Can anyone please shed any light on "Stub's Metal" which is associated with the Pony Barlow in the catalogue?

Re: Simmons Pony Barlow
Sorry, that should be "Stub's STEEL" not Metal
