Help on info about maker named STACY

Paladin · Post by **Paladin** » Sat Dec 01, 2007 9:13 pm

OK guys, I agreed to take this knife from a club member/friend in hopes that someone can help with information on the maker.
It is clearly quite old and I suspect either prior to the tariff or possibly not made for import.
Length is 3 1/4 inches, handles are bone.
Both tangs are stamped STACY with the back side of each stamped with what I believe to be the address NO 4 (over) NEWGATE (over) ST. That format looks like a Sheffield address to me but I can find nothing on it. Goins has a maker named STACEY listed, but clearly different to the knife in question.
As always, any and all help is appreciated.

Hi... those names are spelled Stacey, but the knife is stamped Stacy no 'e' It is most likely a Sheffield made knife from the end of the 1800s or so. Newgate is a famous London street located right in The City. Perhaps this was a merchant's stamp. So far, I haven't found anything specific on No 4.

Newgate is a famous London street says smiling-knife.

I think so is Kings Road or some thing like that. Correct me if I am wrong I mite behaving a senor moment here now. Due to my age.

One other famous street comes to mind is Pigalle in France is this right too?

SK,
It is a dandy. The snap is about as hard as I've encountered. There is a taper to the back springs like I have never seen. Later in the day, maybe I can get a good photo of it.

I started this thread back in December of 2007, with a question as to information on this brand.
During the time the post was active, I received a PM or email from a member named Stacy who was interested in purchasing the knife. At the time I did not own the knife but I have just acquired it. If he, or she, happens to see this current post, please contact me if still interested in purchasing the knife.
