Two very nice little packers you're showing, Ike.
Someone enjoyed them in earlier days and took care of them.

Good looking knife Ike. I'm trying to date that stamp?

I found it interesting everything Sanders Norvell had his fingers into. I'll post his obituary from the town his daughter was living in:

Good info, I am familiar with his life and work in the Midwest, but was unaware of some of that info which came later. At first, that article threw me a little, when I saw that he passed away while living in New York. I have seen his gravestone in Bellefontaine cemetary in St Louis, and briefly wondered why he wasn't buried in NY in a family plot. I checked, and he was predeceased by his wife, (buried in St Louis) and then it made sense to me.
