Busch Ad Knife

smiling-knife · Post by **smiling-knife** » Tue Oct 16, 2007 8:59 pm

Just acquired this Busch advertising knife. The mark on the tang is Anheuser Busch Germany which according to Goins' book was made pre WWI. Does anyone have any information on the maker of this knife? Thanks in advance.

No info for you s-k, but that is one very cool knife!

Are you going to display it with your knives or corkscrews?

Definitely part of the corkscrew knives collection or is it knives with corkscrew collection... I don't know

If memory serves, these were made by the A. Kastor family of companies.
Quite old and a nice item, especially if the picture shows in the "spy glass".

Thanks very much to all for your comments and help

. I greatly appreciate the links El Lobo and Johnnie.

. It looks like the Kastor Bros knives. Unfortunately, my Stanhope is missing all togther. A Stanhope without glass is just a hole. Oh well, Everything else is in pretty good shape and I like the design. Thanks again
