American Shear and Knife Co. Made well before 1960 and possibly before 1900.It has steel bolsters, liners and pins.Also the shield is steel which is very unique.

That’s a beautiful old piece there
Have never seen a steel shield. Like the grind on the blade .

Got these in the mail yesterday, thanks again Roger. Two HS&B.
The cattle knife is probably Camillus and the jack New York knife.
Thanks for looking.

How about a 1910’s to early 20’s Union Cut Co with North Americain Shield “Boy Scouts” knife?

Nice knife , I own several of those and that’s the first I’ve seen with that style Utica / Camillus can opener , I believe the knife out dates that can opener by 20 years or so . How’s the fit and finish ?

Everything is perfect! Decent snap, closed nicely, no slop or wiggle. Fit looks and feels like she just came out of the store. Even the square carbide lamp wrench is crisp around the corners.ScoutKnives wrote: ↑Sat Aug 27, 2022 8:08 pm Nice knife , I own several of those and that’s the first I’ve seen with that style Utica / Camillus can opener , I believe the knife out dates that can opener by 20 years or so .

Those are beauties, Bill, there are some really nice HSB's out there, and those are 2 of the best that I have seen!

A friend of mine and his wife went on vacation a couple weeks ago. He brought this to me last week!!! I know there’s a 40 year or so span on these being made. Anyone have any idea where this might be in that time span by looking at the photos?? Thanks for any help.

Bill,it looks to have hammered pins,ca.1920.

Thanks Ike and John for your comments He brought back a Terrier the summer before Covid. He wouldn’t tell me what it cost and wouldn’t take a penny from me. This time I got him to take some money for the VF. Definitely better than the t-shirt Ike.
