T. Hessenbruch & Co.

T. Hessenbruch & Co. -- 1873-1906, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 3 5/8".

A pretty decent knife for it's age. No wobble whatsoever, half stops on both blades and very strong springs.
I'm glad to have this one.

Excellent, a classy looking knife IMO.
Remarkable how some of those oldies survive and are still functional.

Thanks so much, guys.

Joe.... a very nice addition to your mighty fine collection!
I know its not easy these days to find a gem like that from that time period as I've searching for a bit myself....
