Help with old hawkbill pruner knife

Post by longbowdude »

Hi I recently acquired this fantastic old knife and am trying to figure out the maker and age any other information I can about it.

I guess the correct name for this type of knife is a hawkbill or pruner knife but please let me know if thats not correct.

The maker name is worn off to much for me to read it. I have tried searching multiple names combinations and I cant come up with anything.

Anyone know the maker?

The second and third lines appear to say Celebrated Cutlery. I can’t make out the first line though.

Yes thanks. I was pretty sure of that part. I have been doing searches of all the "celebrated cutlery" makers on the internet and cant come up with any that seem to match the maker name.

To me the maker name looks like ? E ? V or M INGS
