Re: Bridge Cutlery Co. St. Louis
Joe my memory fails me at the moment and I don't have my reference books with me but that stamp is associated with either Shapliegh or Simmons or another knife company. Do you remember which one it is?

Re: Bridge Cutlery Co. St. Louis
Greg, in my new Knife Album on page 162 it shows up in Shapleigh's catalog. At least I think that's what I'm looking at.

Re: Bridge Cutlery Co. St. Louis
That's right. Used by Norvell-Shapliegh. That makes it pretty early and highly desirable on top of being a great looking knife. Excellent score!

Re: Bridge Cutlery Co. St. Louis
Very nice, do you have a rough date on that one?
Re: Bridge Cutlery Co. St. Louis
Thank you, Mason.
No, I don't have any idea when this was made, unfortunately. Haven't done any research.

Re: Bridge Cutlery Co. St. Louis
That's a good looking old slim jack.
A quick look at Goins, page 33, shows 1902 to 1939 and he says the trademark was used by both Norvell-Shapleigh and Shapleigh.
He also illustrates a beautiful box label for the marque, which you might considering copying to display with your knife.

My only two Bridge Cutlery.

Thank you for the nice comments guys.
Took a couple pictures of it next to an early Schrade Cut Co I have, frame size is exact, shield looks to match and bone is very close.
