I am a new member but I also prefer older knives. I will be posting hopefully in the very near future a pic of on my old I*XL George Worstenholm knife that my son had framed with an original page from a c1890's Hibbard Spencer& Bartlett catalog, based on my research it was made before the tariff of 1890 because it doesn't say England on it. This is by far my oldest knife but most in my collection run from 20's-60's. I am really looking forward to posting pics and getting some feedback but also learning from other more seasoned members.
