No MFG. Name on these guys.
Both have "Flip-Over" adjustment for large to small nuts.
The nut picks were obviously a Christmas gift to Jeannette from mid to late 1800s.

19th century moustache comb!

Ivory handles, shield, and pseudo hallmarks on a nickel silver comb blade. It walks and talks just like a pocket knife :D

Let's see'em if you got 'em ::tu::

This is something a little more modern but not a knife made by Schrade under their Tradesman brand of tools.
It's called a T-Bevel Plus.

This one isn't necessarily a knife, but it does include one in the handle.
I found this to be the most handy putty knife in my toolbox.
It comes in two different widths and is one of my favorite tools for patching sheet rock.

I take it the cigar cutter blade will lock closed and is spring loaded.

Can't remember just when I bought this. Price on the box, new, was $7.25 so it must be in the 80's. I don't use it because it looks like something I could remove the skin of my fingertips using. Wonder if they're still offered? J.O'.

When the farmers almanac read it was hog butchering time grandpa would put the pork up . I spent a lot of hours turning the crank on a meat grinder making that sausage ! Dried red pepper and sage from last years garden. For seasoning . Make my taste buds water just thinking about how good it tasted at breakfast time .
