You can always get more money, good old knives are hard to find.

As per Goin's, there was a "Babcock & Stowell, Binghamton, N.Y." 1900 - 1930
With the remark; "This hardware was the Babcock Hardware in 1898".

This might be a connection.

Found this yesterday in Millsboro, DE. Couple bucks. I like Wostenholm knives. Probably not an "antique" .Looks like maybe the 50's ? Like the "Oil The Joints" on the secondary. J.O'.

Nice knives Iman and Mike.
You don't see a lot of celluloid Sheffield knives.
Large (at 4 1/4") French ivory Humphreys Radiant farmers jack. A heavy knife considering how thin it is and the celluloid handles.

A nice group, Dimitri.

Is the bottom one 6-inch? It looks like what the late British emigre knife dealer Jim Taylor called a (Sheffield) "town pattern".

GREAT Stag on all of them! I am curious about the little guy at the top with a spatula and a poker; I can think of a number of ways I would use those tools, but I wonder what the original intended use was for it? A pipe smoking doctor, perhaps? :lol: I love it! 8) ::tu::

Q Thanks!

Yes exactly right, a pipe smokers knife, the wide blade is for scraping the bowl and the long thin rod is for clearing the stem ::nod:: 8)

Not as pristine as yours, but you inspired me to dig out my top 5 Sheffield stag.
