Germania Cutlery Works 1896-1917

Post by raincrowe »

A knife I've had for awhile is an inexpensive one bladed knife; three and one half inches closed and shaped like ladies leg-boot-stocking pattern
the knife has the high button boots and the tang stamp reads..( Germania; Cutlery Works; Germany).. Goin's book dates the knife stamp 1896-1917
by having the buttons on the shoes I would date the knife in the late 1800's to the early 1900's.. the knife is in great condition giving the age and
and the process it was made by well over 100 years ago...Goin's didn't have very much information on this cutlery company
It would be interesting to see if anyone can show other knives and or add more information about the company ::tu::

Some of these links are an absolute exercise in futility ( the "glass cutter" ones especially) but some actually do produce some photos:

Found another Germania in a box of minis was going thru. Nice solid well made piece with great snap for such a small knife (2and5/8 inches closed). Both blades stamped .
