Very nice knives, Dave. The original pouch or purse really makes that one stand out.

I am posting photos of a couple of old IXLs. They both have the IXL Celebrated stamp which dates them from 1850 to 1890.

This is one of my favorite old ones; Remington R1623 from 1924-1933. Has a nice feel to it, I don't really like small knives but I would carry something like this if found new.

Nice hawk Rusty ! I'll have to come for a visit sometime, and see what else I can covet.

I posted this before, but it's one of my favorites from this Allentown, Pa. maker. I don't know if it's my oldest, because I have other patterns of similar age. Only $20 because of the initials carved on the handle, and the name hand engraved on the blade, but the 1880 census record I found made it a winner for me when I read the name and occupation.
