Beautiful knives AND display Dimitri! I have a couple older knives but nothing like those.Here are a few of mine. The most unusual ones(IMHO anyway)are the Camco with the extended center liner that is drilled for a lanyard ring and the Swan Works mini barlow.The Remington daddy barlow was my first barlow(and Remington).The Colonial TL-29 style barlow is also a bit unusual.

Great Barlows Dimitri! One of my favorite patterns. I think I see a Miller Brothers in that first pic! It is odd that I find the stamp on barlow bolsters to be so compelling, It always pleases me when I see one with a nice crisp stamp.

Very nice collection of Barlows. I certainly can't compare with your collections but maybe someday. I do have a few Case xx Grandaddy barlows. Maybe I will add a few more as time goes on. Have a great day

I have a Ric-Nor Barlow Electrician (Electric Mate). Do you suppose it was made by Colonial. Sure looks like it but then all those shell knives look alike to me.

Have a couple of the Ric Nor's, too. Did a little research, all I found was a Boston connection in the Ric Nor name, I think . . . can't recall for certain ::facepalm::

Actually decent lil' shells, would make a fair edc .. .. . :)

Found the answer right here on AAPK -- http://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/kni ... f=4&t=4341

Briefly, it says, "The knives were made by Providence Cutlery of Rhode Island which was originally owned and operated by two of the Paolantino brothers, founders of Colonial Cutlery and were Bobby P.s ancestors. Ric-Nor was/is an electrical supply house in Boston, who contracted with Prov. Cut Co. to make the knifes and that's why some are marked Boston."
