[LKSKNIVES]

Thank you Dave
The last group didn’t send going to have to work on it again

[LKSKNIVES]

Last ones for now
I found the Frankfurth and got a better picture.

HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM.
A very pretty little LF&C Christmas tree. It looks like it is Outgassing. The sad part is it has nice etching on it.
I need to check with Glenbad and see if he could put some Mastodon I or bark on it. He did a great job with the stag on the big Shapleih. Let me know your thoughts and opinions on the OG knife.
Enjoy Steve

Good looking knives Steve!

[LKSKNIVES]

Thank you very much Dimitri
I still have a lot of very nice knives of Dad’s left. Was doing some inventory check. Think I counted more than 30 Remington fixed blades alone.

Imperial certainly used some very nice celluloid handles, very attractive!

This looks like someone broke up pieces off the floor of an automobile paint booth and polished it up. It’s beautiful.

I have two picture handle knives with names and towns on them, both from around 1910. One was even from the small town where I went to high school and the other from a small Northern Minnesota community that all but disappeared. I researched both, located descendants and got the history of the families and the knives. Both knives led me to people that I knew that had some sort of tie to the grandkids of the people named on the knives. I located a son of one of them who was 100 years old, lived in Chicago, and was as sharp as a tack, and told me the family history going back to Germany in the 1800's on up to when they lived near my hometown. One of the grandkids went to high school with my neighbor and another grandkid had coffee with one of my uncles every day in Southern Minnesota. Both have since passed away. It was a fascinating story that kept weaving in and out of the lives of people I knew. The internet has made a lot of information available that didn't exist a few years ago, and sure got my interest in picture handled knives with information printed under the celluloid.____Dave

Ironically the celluloid on some of them show less wear than the blades.

Enjoy!
