Top to bottom:

1. H. Boker & Co's Improved Cutlery double gunstock.

2. H. Boker's & Co's Cutlery Co Germany pearl hound dog.

3. H. Boker & Co's Improved Cutlery pearl whittler with acorn shield and full blood groove.

4. H. Boker & co's Improved Cutlery Moose patterns.

5. H. Boker & Co's Improved Cutlery cap lifter.

6. H. Boker & Co's Improved Cutlery jumbo sleeve-board whittler.

WOW!! Those are outstanding. I've never seen the double gunstock before, what a nice pattern.

very nice. double gunstock wow !

Gorgeous knives! I am holding an empty dog leash... That pearl pup needs to come home with me!

That jumbo sleeve-board whittler is the one that caught my eye. Absolutely splendid.

EVERYTHING that greedy dude has posted has caught my eye.

Beautiful knives and thanks for posting.

Keep 'em comin'!!

I agree, those are some real beauties boy! :drool:: and some more

Very,very nice!

Paul

Greedy, Again with the super knives from Boker of old.

You should write a book.

BTW, there's an ivoroid handled H. Boker, Improved double gunstock four blade on Ebay right now. Condition doesn't compare with yours, but yet another rare piece.

Charlie Noyes

Thanks to all.........I'm glad you liked them. As you guys & gals have probably realized by now, the old H. Bokers are the only knives that I collect.

Charlie,
Thanks for the ebay info. regarding the double gunstock that is currently listed. That is a very hard pattern to find in ANY condition. I know the seller that has it listed and he's one of the good guys on ebay.

It's nice to talk with others that are afflicted with this knife collecting illness!! Take care everyone.

Hi Greedy, thats a super bunch of H Bokers! One of my fav knives! Here is another old H Boker...pearl with fileworked liners. Too bad it has a tight little hairline on one end.

Bob

Heres another old H boker.

Here's an old Lawton, from Chicago, that should fit in here.

Trutemper & Joe Great knives !

I second that! That pearl Boker is very cool!


Joe,

I darn near fell off my chair when I saw that beauty!!! I really like the shape of that knife.

AWEsome!

Kathy

Those are some sweet knives BOB!

Paul and Kathy,
thank you very much.

Boy oh boy Joe. thats one heck of a beautiful knife!!! Thanks, Kathy , Gino and Paul! Hope we see a lot more oldies!!!! Keep em coming!!!

Bob

Nice knives Bob! That pearl is not an easy pattern to find. Here's 3 knives like the pearl you posted. The first one is identical to yours. The pictures aren't too good on these but if you look closely at the first pearl knife you will notice the shield & tip bolsters are gold in color. The next two knives are the same pattern except they are slightly larger in size and have different style shields. All 3 are stamped H. Boker & Co's Cutlery Germany.

Some great knives being posted in this thread.

What is the Greedy Gulo going to pull out of his knife roll next? Boy, Oh Boy, those are pretty.

As an aside, years ago, there appeared an ad in the local paper under "Collectibles" for 200 or so knives. They were located in a small town about 40 miles south. I called, thought the ad had some merit, and drove down there to have a look-see. The collector had died. His daughter had the foot locker filled with knives. I pulled every single knife out of that trunk, both pocket and straight. Almost all of it was junk. Except for one old pearl handled multiblade similar to those equal-ends shown above. It had worked liners and backsprings. The knife would have been very nearly mint, except that the master blade had been snapped off at the tang. I told her that was the only knife I would be interested in, but as a broken knife and the blade AWOL, I'd only give a few dollars. No sale. So, I left. I regret that now, as the knife was resting in a fitted blue velvet lined leatherette covered box with an H. Boker or Heinrich Boker logo imbossed on the liner of the lid in silver.

One of you guys could make good use of that box.

Here is a old Shrade Cutlery

Joe, I do like that Lawton.

I found this one while looking for a different knife.
I don't think I have posted it in this thread.

It is a Crown Cutlery Co.
Goins’ doesn’t have any info just a guesstimate of 1900-1930.

Greedy, thanks for showing those beauties...man oh man Those old Bokers jigging pattern sure is pretty and those pearls are sweeeeet!!!
