First up is a 3 1/8" four blade Senator with carved pearl handles and carved bolsters to match. All 4 blades are marked "Huser".
Anthony Carter's book shows a "Huser & Clauberg" owned by Richard Huser as a manufacturer of fine pocket knives from 1890 to 1939.
This is a very fancy knife and could well be over 100 years old.

Re: 3 Vintage German Pearl Handle Knives
Here is a very fine 3 1/4" Whittler with thick and nicely rounded pearl handles. Marked "Vom Cleff/& Co./Germany". There is a sample number in black ink on back of master blade. This came in a collection of sample knives from Helga Kayser so might have been made by C.F. Kayser Co. in Solingen.

And the third pearl knife is a 3 1/4" Serpentine Pen knife with a great saber ground clip master blade. It is marked "Griffon XX" & "Germany". It also has a sample number in black ink on back side of master blade. It is just too fine to carry & use.
