Wingfield, Rowbotham & Co

Post by Unclebob »

Picked this little knife up today, marked No. 82 Tenter St Sheffield. 4" closed. I love the fat scales! Has anyone a guess at the age of this knife?

Goins says 1852-1932. Since it doesn’t appear to have country of origin probably 1852-1890. Either way nice knife, I like it ::tu:: ::tu:: Nice find!!

Beautiful piece of living history there Uncle Bob and one of my fave makers. I *think* WW&R slightly predates W&R iirc.
