It just doesn't get better than that.

Mark, Mike, superb knives!

Here's a few that I have:

Added this 3 3/8" cigar jack this week, pretty much unused condition all steel construction with original blade finishes and really nice bone, little bit of age corrosion. I'm thinking 1940's or 50's.

Great knife !

Nice old Ulster!
It appears the tang stamp has serif letters. I believe those were discontinued when Albert Baer purchased Ulster Knife Co In 1940.

Thank you KJ and dale. Dale, thanks for an idea on dating, it does have the serif's.

Beautiful knife John, what fantastic condition! I think that knife dates a bit later, you've got Schrade bone on there, which would date it from 1947 at the earliest.

Has anyone ever seen an old Ulster Knife Co marked with "Ellenville" ? This is an ebay knife that i believe is all original.

KJ, I've got a pruner marked with Ellenville. My understanding is that is a very early tang stamp, maybe pre 1900.

JohnR, Thank you for posting this info and the picture of your knife with "Ellenville" marking. I thought that it likely is a very early marking but with many years of collecting Ulster knives i had not seen it before.

The Ellenville stamp is interesting.

Here's a nice little pearl. 2 5/8".

Great looking MOP Joe, any notion what the "Our Daisy" means?

Thank you, Tom.
I don't know what the etch would mean.

Went to a Flea market last Sunday and picked up a couple knives. The best is this lightly used serpentine jack that still has it's blade etch. The pen blade has seen a lot more use than the main. I'm thinking 1950's.

What a beauty that is, John.
How long is it?

It may be referring to Daisy Cornwallis (Edward 7). She was commonly know as Princess Daisy or "Our Daisy".
She was very outspoken in matters between England, and Germany, and had that kind of Princess Di devotion. People loved her all over the world.

Just a hunch

JohnR and Joe you two are putting on quite a show. Great knives from both of you.
