I originally posted this under "finds of the day" but decided that it probably belongs here since I have no idea of the value of what I found... maybe someone can help...
..Early today I shopped an estate sale.... these things are usually overpriced and sure enough there was a Keen Kutter with broken blade for 16$ then a banged up Henckels with broken scales and missing pieces for 42$. Maybe I need to lower expectations..... I picked up a pearl handles knife that looked intack and both blades looked full but they were frozen shut and there was black and green paint ....dont know why but I paid the few dollars for it and brought it home. The pictures tell the rest. I had found a Peters knife stamped both blades and very nice afterall. I know it is old (1876-86?) but was surprised when I checked on ebay and found one listed at 100$??? Are they really that valuable or is this seller just fishing??? Thanks for any help...

Re: Estate find Peters
Nice find, glad you rescued it!
Old and/or rare means it's interesting but doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable. I have no idea what it's worth but will be surprised it brings $100. In the end though, it's worth what someone will pay for it.

Re: Estate find Peters
Thanks for the replys.. I like just about 50-70 $ worth.
The excitement of finding it was worth 1000$ but that is a personal matter
