Knife/Fork Combo

I was in Cullman, Alabama this week and visited their very nice little museum.

Cullman was founded in 1875 by German immigrants.

Saw this knife in one of the display cabinets.

Knife was labeled "Tom Lyle Co". I don't know if that's what is on the tang or if the Tom Lyle Co. donated the knife.

A contract knife made by a German cutlery co. probably A.W. Wadsworth.

Tom Lyle Grocery Company was located on Hale Street in Meridian Mississippi.

I thought A. W. Wadsworth was a Kastor brand. Was there an actual manufacturer by that name?

I also did a Google search for "Tom Lyle Co", but only found modern firms that could not have had anything to do with that knife.

Thanks Dimitri.
