Re: IDENTIFY
Looks like they even buffed out most of the nail nick!

Re: IDENTIFY
Platts Bros. Union NY? Either that or Schatt & Morgan. Probably wrong but that's my best guess.

Re: IDENTIFY
A lot of companies made a coke bottle hunter. One guess would be as good as another without any other evidence.

Re: IDENTIFY
That rat tail bolster should be a "tell".
However, I'm not sure the blade is original to the knife. Definitely been repinned.

Re: IDENTIFY
You might be right Mike. The shield was used by Platts Bros along with many others, but researching old Coke bottle pattern, I found the old Platts Bros. frame pattern to match this old knife identically. Thanks Guys
Re: IDENTIFY
New York Knife was very fond of big Cokes with a steel, rat-tail head bolster and a NSL tail bolster. Normally the tail bolsters are flat though. Is the tail bolster steel or nickel silver?
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Re: IDENTIFY
NYK did have rat-tail bolsters but the blades had long pulls and no nail nick.Empire had a lockback hunter that had a rat-tail bolster and barehead on the other end.I don't know if they made a regular folding hunter or not.btrwtr wrote:New York Knife was very fond of big Cokes with a steel, rat-tail head bolster and a NSL tail bolster.

I ' m with Charlie, the master could be a replacement.
