Old Patented Ivory Work Knife with a Punch

Post by 9ball »

Man, you folks got some fine knives.

This is the only ivory one I can find. It is kind of a oddball, so I thought somebody might like to see it. I have not figured this uploading thing out here yet or I would include some better photos.

This is a Globe Cutlery Company pocket knife with inlayed ivory scales. I was told it is called a "Interframe" design, patented some time around 1925. I have never did any research on it yet to confirm that. It is all nickel silver except for the blades/punch and springs. Tang stamp on master is GLOBE CUT. Co. over NEW YORK. Back of master has PATENTED and Punch is stamped PAT.APR over 25-05.

Notice the wire stripper on the master right about the tang.

For its age, it has been well loved.

Here is my favorite slab of ivory (it goes to an elephant toenail)... Colin Paterson did this. I told him to scrimshaw anything he wanted on it as long as it was a picture of an elephant. This is what I got back :D :shock: :D
