The finest kind, Roger, the finest kind.
Those round equal ends with that beautiful ebony and oh, those blades, wow!

Quite a find!!! A real beauty, Roger.
A somewhat unrelated question........can MB knives be dated in any way by whether they used screws or pins?

Re: Miller Bros. 1863-1926
Well, I finally found a Miller Bros that wasn't too far gone for a decent price
This one has some mileage on it and was found with several other users that were rusted away...
Here's a couple of before pictures and then some after being lightly cleaned up with no buffing and polishing... I like them to show their age
There's a etching that is very difficult to photograph, it's very faint but it's there
Thanks for letting me show it here

Re: Miller Bros. 1863-1926
Great work in honoring the earned patina and not giving it the old polish and buffing routine we see so often! I like it

Re: Miller Bros. 1863-1926
Well, you have already treated it better than the previous owner.
Nice clean up job.
That's a real nice knife, but you already know that.

Gone2Three has restored a neglected quality knife to respectability without, as is all too often done, tastelessly (and arguably, deceptively) attempting it to make it look unused.
Gone2 Three: What is the closed length of the knife?
Great series of photos, too, depicts the story of the clean-up, detritus included, frame by frame.
