Have Any Knives Made Before 1900

[dcgm4]

Nice old ebony jack, Dave. I like the screws holding the handles on. I wonder if it is possible that Miller Bros made that knife for Albert and Meyer? I don't really understand how the covered back springs function? There is no centre pin in evidence?
Dan

The knife was definitely made on contract by Miller Bros. Albert & Meyer was a hardware wholesale company in Baltimore. They never made their own knives. There's no evidence of a center pin, but I suppose it could be hidden by the scales.

Sweet old jack Dave! what's the blade etch say?

The blade etch says "Albert & Meyer Baltimore."

Here is a H&B stag whittler made before 1912. I wanted to know if some of the more informed, than myself
thinks it is older than 1900? Knife looks a little better in hand.

Thanks

Just got this one. I really liked the look of it, and the bonus is it is old enough to post in this thread. Naugatuck Cutlery Co. - Goins says 1872 to 1888 for the curved stamp.
