Are you in the USA? Johnson Western works is not a popular brand in the USA, they are not known for quality cutlery. They did make a lot of fixed blade knives for the British Boy Scouts. I think you would be lucky to get fifty bucks here in the US. Of course others may disagree but I do a lot of knife shows where my specialty is fixed blade knives.

Except for top examples interest in collecting vintage Sheffield knives among North American collectors is rather low. And we don't see a huge number of vintage Sheffield knives either. The result is rather low prices for many of the old Sheffield knives. I am interested in learning if prices are higher in Britain.
For top examples collectors here will pay decently but i don't know if the same knife in U.K. would get a higher price.
