Miller Brothers is a very collectible brand. What's it's closed length? That would have a bearing on it's value. Value estimates are out of my line. A couple more pics of both sides and a description of its condition, (loose, tight. snappy, handle material, etc.) would help anyone who may have an idea of its value. Miller Bros. has been gone since 1926 so the knife is at least 96 years old. Looks like a nice specimen.I wouldn't attempt any cleaning other than a little oil in the joints and a wipe down. Good luck with it. J.O.

Condition is everything. Looks like the main blade has either been tipped or worn down with sharpening/use. I wouldn't think any more than $20-40 value in that condition, but I could be wrong...

I agree with Glenn on value. The tipped and reshaped master blade hurts. Neat looking old knife. The handles are likely celluloid and the inlaid celluloid shield is something I have seen on a good number of old Schatt & Morgan knives. Dimitri might know better about this use on a MB knife. The slanted bolsters are cool too.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.
