Was a bit dirty ,cleaned it up a little and oiled handles and joint. Been used ,but solid yet. This may go with our lumber markers section in our display at Carson park . Tang is NEW YORK over KNIFE Co over WALDEN .
Take Care
Nice, looks like an earlier version than the tang stamped ones ::tu::
Thank you Sir, was very happy to have found it. Did some research and all could find was the NYK Co. Start and end dates of 1856 to 1931 . Not sure how to get any more specific dates. What’s the tell on this vs. the tang stamp ones ? Is it simply where the stamp is. Any help would be great.

I believe so, just from my own experience I see many more with the tang stamped versus being stamped out on the blade. I believe they started stamping them out on the blade like the English made ones were then later production switched to just stamping the tang ::nod::

Picked up this 4 line Camillus this week,nice tight piece with full half stop. This one has nice full Scribe,,steel liners and bolster.
Was hoping to find one in bone,stag, but this’ll do for now and goes well with my Collection of Camillus stuff.
Anybody got anymore Scribes to show off that would be great . Been interested in them as of lately
Take care out there ::tu::

Added to the sheepsfoot jack collection with a Thomas Turner & Co stag Encore stamped. Has a timber scribe secondary, you don't find these 2 blades all that often.

Thank you all for the nice comments, was pretty happy to land this one, I knew 2 blades were made but they don't come up very often.
