Great knives all!
Peanut! I love the bone on that fine old knife!
Very fine jack Harold, and great box Dimitri
Lyle, could that be a Bartlett (of Hibbard Spencer Bartlett fame?). I seem to remember something about a Bartlett hardware store, separate from OVB.

This stamp is listed in Goins as is.The only information given is c 1900-1920.I don't know if Bartlett was around Detroit??You would think Goins would have known that.Thanks for looking.Beechtree wrote:Great knives all!

Here's one I've never seen before. A T. Hauge with a Wcrown (1830-37) on a true split back 2 blade hawkbill (saw and hawk blade) dressed in nice stag. Old Sheffield piece, and it has intrigal bolsters

Here is a old stockman stamped B.M. & S./ HDWE CO. I have never seen this stamp before on a knife or in
knife books. It has to be Blish Mise & Silliman of Atchison Ks. The knife looks to me like a Winchester made
knife. I think the stamping is rare. Also has pattern # on back of master 3957.

That is the way it use to be done in the old days, English made knives are well know for this feature.Jacknifeben wrote: what is the deal with the top of the blade cut down at the pivot?

Knife is pretty well used but I can't find this brand. Master blade has Egg in an oval and the small blade has ST&R GERMANY. Still has half stops.
