This it, JR?

NYKC closed it's doors in 1932. (c. 1852? - 1932) I don't remember what year they started
the Hammer Brand trade mark, but it was there "Top Shelf" knife.
I'm sure someone around here will know when the trade mark was started.
There jigging on the bone handle knives is very distinctive - makes it easy to spot one.
