Glenn, that Wade & Butcher is exceptional. First time I recall seeing it. The stag is amazing.

Looks like iron bolsters?

However, I never get tired of sharing this Wade & Butcher. I just wish it was in a little better shape.

Glenn I wouldn't recommend a mod on that one. That is outstanding. What do you think it's age is? Magnificent!

Thanks, my best guess is it falls in the 1818-1890 range.

I live an hour from Allentown and I worked in it for 10 years, great knife, I'm jealous.

I wonder how it found it's way to Minnesota. I'll bet it's an interesting story.

Here's an old one with an odd pattern, not sure what to call it? Fabyan Knife Co. I usually don't go after German knives but this one was too good to pass on. Derek and I were thinking of having a custom maker make a few of these with the old Catt handles on them!!

Here is another Fabyan, given to me by the above poster,Mike. Thanks again Mike for your generous contribution to the farmers jack collection.
the last picture I scarfed from the internet to show what the stamp (?) on the pruning blade should look like.

Apx.4" , as almost all farmers jacks.Lovely shape on this particular frame. Amazing the difference fractions in a design can make.

Manhattan Cutlery Co Germany, nice large ebony serpentine jack. Could not find much on it, maybe made by Boker around WW1?

Wow John,
That's some pile side stamp and I expect a very rare stamp in all. You and Diane are amassing quite a collection.

How about a pic of that 14 boys knife with the etch and all? Thanks.

JohnR · Post by **JohnR** » Sun May 21, 2017 1:02 am

I'll post this for Lyle, his 14 was one of the best of that run, surprised any are left, Lyle's is the top knife. Thanks for everyones comments on the Manhattan, Lyle hope to see you again at the Rendezvous with your new lady.

Ivoryman · Post by **Ivoryman** » Sun May 21, 2017 1:57 am

Sweet fancy Moses that bottom one is beautiful, both great knives but man that spotted yellow like rotting banana is spectacular.

wlf · Post by **wlf** » Sun May 21, 2017 7:05 pm

Thanks John . Mike,I didn't see your post,I hope you find more too.Grin'n

Thanks for the interest Ivoryman.

John there are only a very few left. I traded a few with Chris at GEC to get the regular run ones with my baby picture on the label. Grin'n

That Manhattan knife is very cool. It was indeed a stamp used by Boker.

You don't see many Barnsley Bros. from Monett, Mo. The ones I do see are very worn.
Even though someone tried to "clean" this one they didn't completely ruin it.
So for a 110 year old knife.... I'll take it home....

Ivoryman · Post by **Ivoryman** » Sun Jul 30, 2017 11:53 pm

Very nice one Welder.

Mumbleypeg · Post by **Mumbleypeg** » Mon Jul 31, 2017 2:47 am

Wonderful and rare old knife! Believe it or not I've been to Monett, but it was long ago. Went to watch my cousin play a baseball game there, early 1960s. Was Barnsley Bros. a hardware store?

WelderBob · Post by **WelderBob** » Mon Jul 31, 2017 5:02 pm

Thanks guy's, I just wish it wasn't so "shinny".

Ken, Barnsley Bros. manufactured knives and razors from 1898 to 1906.
I see more of their razors than knives.
