Thanks guys!

The "reclining lion" was also a trademark used by Carl Lutters.

I also have a small pearl handled knife stamped "Lion Cutlery, Warrented" that used the reclining lion.

Picked up a few knives at the Dalton Ga.show. 1st is a Maher & Grosh moose. An old one with deep stamped Maher & Grosh Razor Steel on the blade.Arch stamp with Toledo O.all in small letters which according to Pete Cohan is their oldest marking.It also has smooth bone handles and shields on both sides.
