Thank you all for the nice comments ::tu:: ::tu:: ::tu::

Roger, thanks for the etch pics, looking close that looks to be what is on the knife but too far gone to be sure.

Lee, the punch style can definitely be a clue as to maker, I've been looking at pictures for another example, so far no luck. Some punches would have patent numbers on them which will identify the maker but this one does not. On another forum someone thought it is an early Ulster, pre Dwight Divine.

Thanks John, I've had both of these for over 20 years, got them both at the old 2 day show in Waterbury Conn. Bill Clausen of NW Knives used to come to the show with some amazing knives and he helped get me started on the etched knives with ink. He still produces a color catalog of vintage knives that are really nice!

Wow!
That New York Hammer has got the best looking punch I've seen in a long time.
Is that a "kit" knife?

What is that tool on the last one you show--a combo Prestolite and hoof hook/hoof pick?

It's a carriage knife, the square hole is used to open the carriage door from the outside by the driver.
