I agree with you Charlie!

Looking back through this thread...that Miller Brothers gravity knife is somethin' else! Holy Smokes!

Here is a real survivor. 32206G with a round shield meaning it has a punch blade plus a full spey blade with FOR CUTTING FLESH ONLY. And the number 6 is for ebony handles.

Wow, talk about a survivor, that jack is amazin' OD, thanks for sharing. Thinking of the the last year you posted, 1890, my grandfather would have been 3 years old then.

Why have I missed this thread?

Better yet, why did I find it! Love ebony wood scales on anything!

I Agree Scott

Really fine Electric Tom, that is sure nice to look at.

Of course, that checkered ebony takes the cake for style MB. Very fine, great addition.

JKB, that Catt is a survivor for sure. You sure do find the good ones!

Wiseguy, bowing it up with the one and only. Wow nice ebony handles, thanks for sharing.

Here is a simple jack, B&T Co. New Haven c. 1920s. stamped Pequot on the back.

Nice knife Beechtree

... and an old CT maker (Bridgeport Tool) not seen very often!

That's a beauty!

I was wondering what that stamp was.

Thanks Dan, Mike, Joe and LB, I appreciate your comments.

LB, B&T actually stands for Bronson & Townsend Co. New Haven( 1923-1938). They used the trademark Pequot, a reference to the Pequot tribe, a more recognizable name then as well as now than the tribe that inhabited the New Haven area, the Quinnipiacs.

Thanks Beechtree.... Only BT I knew was Bridgeport Tool in New Haven so that is a new company for me (or one I failed to note) - Bronson & Townsend Co. New Haven (found in Goins but no mention in BRL or New England Cutleries by Phil P)... cool - another to add to my list

Lee big B,as you do also, has some very nice old knives,the kind we like. Better than that is his knowledge of them.

It's one of the things I love about this site, the knowledgeable collectors we have here,who aren't stingy with it.

Sorry, missed commenting on a couple of fine knives. Lovely Cattaraugus, jackknifegen

. Beautiful Electric, Tom.

I was not familiar with that one, only the Electric Cutlery Co. knives produced later by NYK

Lyle - I agree with you 150%

.... the knowledge base here is top notch with lots of folks willing to share - and from a personal standpoint my learning curve has sky-rocketed since joining

... of course this is one of those things where the learning never stops..... (like fly fishing and tying for those who enjoy that pursuit as well)...

Beechtree · Post by **Beechtree** » Wed Mar 23, 2016 12:11 am

I agree with both of you Lyle and Lee, this is a fantastic place to learn! Also, whenever I open Goins' I am always impressed with the new things I see. Each time I find things that make me say a little prayer of thanks to Mr. & Mrs. Goins. Any person interested in history, let alone an interest in pocket knives, can recognize the amazing amount of knowledge and passion contained in that volume.

Goins and Tweedale are a must for collectors of old knives.

Here's an old Lawton Cutlery Co. Chicago. 3 1/2".

That's a nice one, Joe

Here's a few of my favorite pics.

Beauties Joe and Unk

....

Unk - that is a wonderful collection of wooden jacks!! I dig wood myself - especially the wood of old - ebony, cocobolo etc etc... hard, durable and beautiful grain!!

FRJ · Post by **FRJ** » Sun Apr 03, 2016 3:35 pm

And it doesn't shrink.

Beautiful knives, Unk.

Great batch of old ebony knives, Unk!
