You also are showing a very nice EO on page two of the "Electric Cut. Co." thread. :D

Also, the nail nicks are milled differently.
Great old knives.

Thanks for looking.
Great show, Joe, please keep digging and unearthing more of those!!

I have never seen a small Union Cut. Co. E.O. like this before, not to mention the size of the shield is unusual........
