I see these two offered on an online auction. Anyone know anything about these two?

Blue - I found this on the internet:


Boker Tree Brand Knives, The Miners Commemorative Set

The Three Knifes are from a collection that my husband has saved for years.
T are two with 3 blades, and one with 4 blades. Each one of the knives have description lables on the main blade, such as: "Birth of a Union", "Struggle to Organize", "The Beginning", and a brass identification on the handle, as: A Miner with a pick, stating "1890", Two miners shaking hands stating United we Stand Divided we Fall, Two claspped Hands, stating 8 hours a day, "1898". The Certificate serial number is stamped on the brass edge of the handle #2828.
