Here is a group of big folders. Several names for these but I prefer to call them toad stickers. 5 1/2" closed. Far left and right are slot knives or hobos.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Joe, I like that. It just seems to scream 1900. ___Dave

Re: Lets show some Old and Rare ones.
Here are some stamps you don't see too often. The boys knives are from top to bottom, Fillmore Cutlery co., Howard Bros., Hacket Walter Gates (1902-1912), The hawkbill is stamped Henry Sears Co. Prussia (predates the "& Sons") possibly when they were in Rockford, Ill. They used this stamp from 1865, (the year of their logo"1865") until 1878, and the candle end serpentine jack is stamped Midland Cutlery Co. Kansas City Mo. and was made in Germany.____Dave

Re: Lets show some Old and Rare ones.
The Filmore was a Millard Filmore Robeson brand. Probably of German origin.

Re: Lets show some Old and Rare ones.
Thanks Charlie. Levine didn't have anything on it and I've never gone on line doing any more research. I'll have to find my records on this knife and add that info. to it. Was this a Robeson import brand?____Dave

Re: Vermont Cutlery Co.
I posted this in new pick ups, then thought about this thread. Turner and Jepson, Sheffield, maybe 1800s??? Excellent snap and half stops for its age, thought maybe someone had repaired it the way the pins are cut off??? Not experienced enough to know for sure.

Re: Lets show some Old and Rare ones.
Nice knife Bill, great old pattern. I have a few of them and for some reason the pins in that pattern seem to want to turn a little over the years and I think all of my show the pins a little.___Dave
Re: Lets show some Old and Rare ones.
Thanks Dan, Dave, and Joe, I was really happy to find it!!!

Re: Lets show some Old and Rare ones.
Great looking knife Bill ... The blade looks like a lambsfoot though not sure - usually those old Sheffield patterns had "Real Lambsfoot" deep stamped on the blade - perhaps it is a sheepsfoot but overtime and some sharpening took down the edge abit... the stag is beautiful!
