Wow!
What a beautiful old knife!
In my limited knowledge I have never seen that knife stamp.

Thank you very much and only know I had of it was seeing it posted on AAPK along time ago.

Not too recently, my visit to the post office produced this pocket knife. This is my latest example to be posted under this topic or thread. At the time, it was also the latest example to join my general, pocket knife accumulation. It is a NEWBURGH KNIFE CO., two blades, two tang stamps, 3 5/8" closed, long main blade pull, two springs, pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "NEWBURGH (over) (N Y) (over) KNIFE CO" The secondary blade front tang stamp says, "NEWBURGH (over) (N Y) (over) KNIFE CO" Besides the tang stamp(s) and or the handle stamp(s) on ALLEN CUTLERY COMPANY pocket knives, this is definitely the ONLY other pocket knife that I have seen, where "NEWBURGH, N.Y." is on the blade(s) tang stamp(s), AND NOT as an advertisement or as part of an advertisement on a pocket knife. I can NOT find any other markings, anywhere. I have NO evidence that leads me to believe that Newburgh EVER had more than ONE cutlery or knife company, and that ONE cutlery or knife company WAS the ALLEN CUTLERY COMPANY (1917-1925). So, what cutlery or knife company manufactured this pocket knife? I do NOT know. What country did this pocket knife originate in? Probably the U.S.A. Again, I do NOT know for sure. Extensive and exhaustive searching has produced absolutely NO results at all. The main blade does have a VERY GOOD half stop. The main blade does have a VERY GOOD opening snap. The main blade does have a VERY GOOD closing snap. The secondary blade does have a VERY GOOD half stop. The secondary blade does have a VERY GOOD opening snap. The secondary blade does have a VERY GOOD closing snap. Overall, this pocket knife is in GOOD condition. This pocket knife did NOT require cleaning at all. I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.

***** TRIVIA *****
Per geotargit.com.....
There Are Only Two "Newburgh"s In The U.S.A.
Newburgh, Indiana And Newburgh, New York.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
That Could Possibly Explain Why The "N Y" On
Both Of The Tang Stamps Is In Parentheses.

Thank you, Ike.

Jumbo Cigar at 4-1/4" in Stag made by whom? for Schreiber, Conchar & Westphal Dubuque, Iowa c.1892-97 very shortly lived and with all my research have not been able to find any other examples other than Axes. If you have a B.O.E. marked knife please show it or if you have any other valuable information you would love to share, than please do. May you have a blessed Monday because I am!

This is an oldie I’ve never heard of before, Goulding & Co. New York,

Mike, you certainly found an OLD and OBSCURE pocket "knife."

Thanks, lucky on some of them.

G Savage & Sons 1841-1843 per Goins.
Tortoise shell, half stops, decorative bolsters. Good snap. Good stamp on the pen, weak on the master.

And idea what the blades are for. Seems like a task specific knife. Congrats.
