Re: Vintage Acid Etched & Stamped Blades
ALL are very nice, but the ebony swellcenter is one killer knife. 
A pocket knife is still an intimate personal possession of the individual who carries it and consequently deserves the best of materials, finish and workmanship in its production. (Quoted from Boker's 1928 cutlery catalog).

Superb collection of old etched Maher and Grosh knives, peanut. They are all great, I am especially partial to the ebony handled ones and that swell centre jack is really special!

Roger, I really like the El Diablo, especially the way the clip blade is made.
I hope this one gets consideration for the "reborn" series

Awesome knives Roger. That El Diablo etch must have been a great marketing draw!
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Re: Vintage Acid Etched & Stamped Blades
Took me many years of "Search and Rescue" to put this Stamped set together, one piece at a time. (Before the internet) including original Pin-Back.
I love "Advertisers"
I would like to have (or at least see) the "stamping die" that put Buster Brown & Tiege on this 11 and 3/4 inch hatchet, it must have been Humungus.
I've been thinking of putting a sigh under the frame that reads: "IF YOU RUN OUT OF AMMO: BREAK GLASS"
I need your help in identifying the maker of the "Hatchet"
Marble's perhaps? I know that the "Brown Shoe Co." logo on the 8" Woodcraft was by Camillus via Shapleigh St. Louis MO. c1930s. But I'm confused on the hatchet.
The stamping measurements on Buster Brown & Tiege is over 2" by 2"

Re: Vintage Acid Etched & Stamped Blades
Thanks danno,
There's more "Buster Brown's" out there to be found. Still have some room within the frame.

Wonderful showing Peanut, the Toledo etch is sure a fine one

Love your Miller Bros. Looks as if the original owner had second thoughts after buying it and decided it was too beautiful to use?
Perhaps it was just carried around for "Show and Tell" only?
Luckily there are many of us that preserve this great history of cutlery and have great hopes to share it with generations to come.
