Nice show Ray.
There are some real beauties in there.

Thanks for these posts, some great history there.

Very nice, Joe, keep them coming!
Ray, great show of some lovely old knives! As Joe said, there are some real beauties in there.

This is a display I put together many years ago for a local gun show. I made a few displays of some of my knives, hoping to find other people with the same interest, to no avail.

This is a fine display.
I especially like the Robeson and the NY knife.

That would have caught my interest. Great job Dan. And great knives.

Great display Dan!!!

Very nice Dan

Joe, Ray, Dan, some great knives guys, I'll try to dig up some of my better ones.

Ray got started and couldn't stop. I'm surprised I hadn't seen this thread. The two blade Jack knife is one of my favorite patterns and there are some real spiffy ones here. If y'all don't mind, I'll add a few of my own. Since there are no English Jacks allowed ( ), I'll start off with my medium jacks. (3¼" & 3-3/8")

And a couple more. There are several more but after a while they all start to look the same.

Danno that is a collection and display to be proud of. Congatulations.

Thanks for the kind comments, guys.
Great collection of medium jack, jerryd!

Thanks espn.

That is a great display, Dan. Nice work.

That is a great bunch of knives, Jerry. Good show.

A Southington ......... Southington stopped making knives in 1905.

Nice, Jerry, knives and photo, EO's are photogenic. Going back a couple of posts, I was happy to see that Jaques knife. I will occasionally pick uo an agriculture related advertising knife, not valuable or highly sought after, but I like 'em!
