Antique Ulster pocket knife with XL N.Y. on handle

Post by swolsonfd »

I was given a pocket knife from my grandfather like the one in the photo. Does anyone know when this may have been manufactured or the value?

According to Goin's Encyclopedia of Cutlery Markngs that tang stamp was used from c.1876 until 1941.
