Vintage Mother Of Pearl (MOP) Knives

[galvanic1882]

Here is a nice little Cat that has pearl covered backsprings and a neet etch.

I posted the Excelsior in that thread but figured I would show it here too. I love the etch on this one!!!

BEAUTIFUL.....absolutely beautiful.

Here are 2 more. The one with the fancy pearl, opal pearl, is a Robeson. It does not look like it was used and if it has it was not much, it is nice and tight all around.

The multi blade is a rare one. WH Sample which is an old New York company out of Albany NY circa 1871-1939. The tortoise toothpick and the little salt spoon was still with the knife when it came in the mail. It is 2 1/4" closed and a nice find for me. I only have one more form this maker, an ebony handled jack.

S-K: Is that an earlier incarnation of Dawes&Ball? BTW I like the spelling of KNICE.

Thanks Johnnie!

This one sure did not get used very much, just a few age spots, perfect pearl handles.

Here is something a bit different:a J.A.Henckels manicure set complete with single blade knife and tools made of carved pearl in a display case.

[johnnierotten]

Wow....you don't come across a set like that very often.
