Okay, the reveal: Ernest Voos was a German immigrant making knives in New Haven, CT.,1879-1919. The firm became VOOS, USA and New England Specialty Hardware Co. from 1919-1981, manufacturing, among other things, a line of kitchen products and knives like "Gent's" knives and their very nice, two-blade, bone-handled, bare-head jack below. The other Voos company,(Emil Voos, Solingen, Germany), made knives for the Hitler Youth and some famous, third Reich daggers. Not sure if the two Voos'es were related?? Someone post another mystery knife. J.O'.
