Maher & Grosh, Toledo Blade boys knife.

Wow Roger, both of those knives are nice to look at.

Unfortunately this knife has been tipped, but it has all the bells and whistles otherwise. Etched Maher & Grosh, over Colorado ($5) Stock Knife, over Razor Steel. Screwed on pearl handles and covered backsprings. Made by Miller Brothers.

I was wondering who got that one glad it was you Roger, she is a beaut!!

[philco]

Good stuff Roger. Did the chain come with the Boys Knife originally ?

[peanut740]

I imagine it originally it did,but didn't come with the knife. I had bought it several years ago and had sold it to David Clark for his boys knife display and he added the chain.Recently he offered to sell it back to me for what he paid for it and he included the chain.For those who don't know David he is a fine gentleman and a well versed knifer!

Hey Guys, I got a question on this Cokebottle that I just picked up. Model# 1920 Winchester w/ Etched blade.
If I understand this thread correctly,,is this a type of Acid Etch & not a stamped blade?? I am just now learning the differences of Acid Etch vs Deep stampings. When I first got this knife I thought it was an "ink" etch,,,but when I ran my finger nail over the etching itself,,,my fingernail grabs on every letter,,so there is DEPTH to the Etch itself. As always,,,Many thanks for the info sharing.

Also,,,When it comes to this Model was there an "Ink" etch available too later on?? I am not familiar with the varieties of This pattern yet,,Thx again for your help.
Kindest Regards & Blessings,
Mark

Here's an old Maher & Grosh stamp.

Joe,I believe the deep stamped blade M&G's date before 1900.

[FRJ]

Oh, that's great!
Thank you, Roger.

Man I love that deep stamped blade!! Great find.

Here is one I've had for years, Sperry & Alexander Centaur jack. A lot of their knives were made in Germany I believe but this one was made by Schrade in my opinion. I had a ebony handled one that I sold years ago that had the same etch.

I was lucky to fine the hone and am still hunting a box to go with it.

Here is another that posted many years ago, I think??

CO. O. Knife Co Walden NY love the GRANGE etch. 4" closed.
