Antique Knives Made In England

[Miller Bro's]

Here's something a little different, a moustache comb with solid Ivory handles and a very nice shield

[Miller Bro's]

This one is a later model but still a well made knife, I bought it because of the handles.

[galvanic1882]

Nice MB. All the knives you have posted are great.

[BWT]

That is nice handles on the IXL Dimitri, but I really like the comb

[Mason]

I'll follow suit and agree that the IXL has nice handles, but the comb is quite special. Did you figure out the name yet based on the hallmarks?
I have a similar sterling comb from around 1900, but it is American made.

Here is another oddity. It is a sterling Wostenholm pen blade knife with a pull out telescoping mechanical pencil.

They are pseudo hallmarks, the comb is actually nickle silver instead of sterling. I would like to see the comb you have

Very nice Wostenholm, I like the unusual!

That’s nice Neal, something you don’t see every day

[Ridgegrass]

All very special knives . Is that genuine tortoise? Almost Winterbottom looking? J.O'.

[Mason]

While not English, Miller bros. asked to see this very fine American made folding sterling comb.
This model was made by "Bailey Banks & Biddle" which date back to 1878, and have roots dating back further.
That company had quite a prestigious history and were tasked to re-design the Great Seal of the United States, as well as designing and manufacturing several military medals including the Congressional Medal of Honor, the Bronze and Silver Stars, and the Purple Heart.

Beautiful piece, and thanks for the background information

[Miller Bro's]

This is another oldie, hard to find without broken or worn out blades. Made by one of the premier makers of the day.

[BWT]

Neal that’s a really beautiful, interesting knife and story, thanks for sharing it.
Dimitri that’s my kinda knife Love the stag and maker to boot!!

[Miller Bro's]

Again here is something a little different, just like me

[BWT]

Looks pretty neat to me Dimitri!! Does the blade come out a little further? I have a couple brass Eagle gravity type knives the blade slide out like that? I don’t ever remember posting them but I believe they are something like a quill knife? I’m like you, I like yours because it’s different

[Miller Bro's]

Thanks Bill, the blade comes out a little more but not much.

The blade is extended and retracted by turning the top part just like a lipstick container.
