I won this vintage TORREY on ebay. Looks like a nice older knife; pearl handles engraved bolsters; nickle/silver pins and liners. All 3 blades stamped TORREY in a rectangle. I am guessing it was made in the 1950's; could it be earlier or later? Thanks.

That is a real beauty Paul.
I don't know how galvanic let that one slip by him, I think that's one of his brands.
Torry was c.1880-1963, and by the shape of the tangs and kicks, I'd guess your's was from the first 25 or 30 years of that range.
Great snag !!

Yes Fran I was watching it but did not bid. I have an old catalog from Torry but did not see this one in it but that does not mean much. All of their knives that I have seen have been really well made. Attached is the only one I own, which I still am trying to get the drool marks off of Fran!!!!
