Here is a lovely Miller Bros (1863-1826) sway back whittler. It still has its original polish after these years.

Thanks garddogg, it's got lots of color in it, but just couldn't capture it.
These old stamps are a pleasure to own.

Slick Joe, thats a pretty one

This 3" Miller Bros shadow bolster pen knife with pinless construction has some of the most beautiful mother of pearl/black lip pearl that I have ever seen.

[FRJ]

That's a beautiful knife, Beechtree.

[garddogg56]

I can't capture the brillance in a pearl knife either.

[Beechtree]

Thanks Joe. I really like it and would carry it if I didn't know I probably wont find another.

^ Me either garddogg

Sometimes you can capture the brilliance of pearl by shooting it against a black background and using two separate light sources at opposing angles.I use a Canon Power Shot SX100 set on Macro(in auto mode)and hold the camera about 3 feet away and run the zoom in until the knife fills the image(better when one end is in the upper right and the opposite in the lower left).I had been using regular lamp bulbs but am trying a setup now using LED lamps for better color resolution. I'll post some results when I get it worked out.

[Miller Bro's]

A leg knife.

[Another Knife Collector]

Wowee now that's a sweet one, are there any markings on it? Thanks for sharing!
