C.F.Wolfertz, Allentown. Pa. 1862-1920. I'm guessing this is pretty rare, especially in Minnesota.___Dave

Re: Lets show some Old and Rare ones.
Just some really unique and rare knives being shared. I forgot about this thread, and honestly don't really post in this section, as I am not as well-studied as some of you guys.
However, I never get tired of sharing this Wade & Butcher. I just wish it was in a little better shape.

Re: Lets show some Old and Rare ones.
I've posted these in the Case Collectors forum but they fit here also. The Case 87 gunstock pattern is very difficult to find. It was discontinued at some point during the Tested era and to my knowledge never re-introduced. The 8387 pearl gunstock whittler below is marked W.R. Case & Sons, dating it to pre-1914. The 5387 stag is marked Case Tested XX, with the file blade stamped Tested XX inside a circle. It's my understanding this "Tested inside a circle" stamp was used early in the Tested era, in which case the knife dates to early 1920s.

Glenn, that Wade & Butcher is exceptional. First time I recall seeing it. The stag is amazing. Looks like iron bolsters?

Thanks, my best guess is it falls in the 1818-1890 range.gsmith7158 wrote:

Re: Lets show some Old and Rare ones.
I live an hour from Allentown and I worked in it for 10 years, great knife, I'm jealous. I wonder how it found it's way to Minnesota. I'll bet it's an interesting story.djknife13 wrote:C.F.Wolfertz, Allentown. Pa. 1862-1920. I'm guessing this is pretty rare, especially in Minnesota.___Dave

Re: Lets show some Old and Rare ones.
Here's an old one with an odd pattern, not sure what to call it? Fabyan Knife Co. I usually don't go after German knives but this one was too good to pass on. Derek and I were thinking of having a custom maker make a few of these with the old Catt handles on them!!
Re: Lets show some Old and Rare ones.
Here is another Fabyan, given to me by the above poster,Mike. Thanks again Mike for your generous contribution to the farmers jack collection.
the last picture I scarfed from the internet to show what the stamp (?) on the pruning blade should look like.
Apx.4" , as almost all farmers jacks.Lovely shape on this particular frame. Amazing the difference fractions in a design can make.

Wow John,
That's some pile side stamp and I expect a very rare stamp in all. You and Diane are amassing quite a collection.

Re: Lets show some Old and Rare ones.
That Manhattan knife is very cool. It was indeed a stamp used by Boker.
