Good lookin Boker you got there.
Here's one I got from Junebug oldie but a goodie! HAMMER Brand

Sweet barehead singin46!
Thats a beauty Greedy, Heres an old AMERICAN SHEAR & KNIFE CO. which could be its sister/brother (although not quite as fine shape )

Nice turn of the century American right there!

Thanks Singin. It has both fantastic snap and a little scroll work of the etch remaining.

Cool, I have one from the late 1870s, tang stamped American Shear Co.

A very old Gardner knife.

Those are great K7K. Theres a lot of beautiful ebony there. Any chance you would be willing to share a pic of the blades on the American Knife Co. jack at the bottom of the first picture, and the Holley at the bottom of the 3rd?
Very sweet MB! A fine example. A really clean knife for being so old, it looks tight as can be.

Yes it is, for the age it has not been used much or abused at all. The blades have perfect snap, no wobble and the handles are tight to the liners

This isn't an old knife but it is one of my favorite knives in ebony!
I used Bryan's pics.

I don't recall them being posted in this thread, my apologies if they are.

here is a old ebony catt

My only ebony hadle knife up to now, a Linder Morningstar:

Thats a pretty one Capt. Farrel. Ebony and nickel silver go so well together. Any idea about he vintage here?

Thank you Beechtree! The Brand "Morningstar" was used by Linder between 1939 and 1970, so it should be at least 40 years old.

Nice knife!
Silver & ebony, a classic combination!

Here is one I bought today at an antique store.Robeson 126242 barehead jack.Have to check with Charlie about the stampings.Master blade stamped in a straight line(Robeson Shuredge Rochester)and the pen blade stamped in an arc Robeson Cutlery USA.Doesn'r appear to have ever been sharpened(either blade) and looked like it may have had a clear coating applied to it at one time(maybe at the factory?).Ebony scales were dry so I applied a little mineral oil to them and cleaned the blades up a bit. Not bad for $18.
