Wilbert Cut Co. 1908 to 1920 or so. Very tight and half stops and in great condition.
Sperry & Alexander NEW YORK. 1893 to 1927 from what have read . Has had some use still solid piece .
The Trapper is a High Carbon USA. Rather like the color of the Bone on this piece .
That sure is a great trio, not only beautiful but 3 names you don't see everyday, or week, or month....... 8)

An awesome group of knives, Barry. I especially like the pattern and bolsters on the Stewart knife. That one caused me to do a search........I maybe knew at one time that Jimmy Stewart was the grandson of a hardware store owner, but I had forgotten. What an awesome piece to have in your collection. ::not_worthy::
Very nice, thanks for posting! ::tu:: ::tu::
