Goins has J Nowill & Sons from 1848 to present, I also read that the name was purchased for use by another maker in the 1940s, when the last of the Nowill family got out of the business. I am really not sure exactly where this knife would fall on that timeline.

Attractive knife, beautiful horn handles
I would say 1930's or before

Here is a few of my England Made 2 I-XL Splitback Whittlers and a I-XL Stovckman, and a early 19th Century Quill by Yelling House Co. not to be found in Goins Encyclopedia I was told more likely English Made hint the name Yelling possibly made in Yelling, England

Dimitri I don’t know what to say! My wife pretends to take interest when I bring a new knife home. I showed her the photos of some of yours especially the last photo. She tells me I’m failing miserably with my collection

Very nice Dimitri thanks for sharing those.
