There is not much information out there on this company so anything you can tell me is appreciated
this is a 4 1/4" cigar pattern bone handle knife
the markings on the tang are hard to see but it is marked "BOOS Toledo OH"
as you can see the pin has been replaced or reset but I still believe blades to be original....they look 100+ years old to me and they have identical markings
From what I can find out it was made 1850 to 1890
its a rare find I think
any information or any one else have anything like it?
Thanks
unique knife BOOS TOLEDO OHIO information would be great!
