Rare "Faglet" Sold On Ebay......And You Missed It!

[RobesonsRme.com]

A recently completed Ebay auction resulted in this so-called "FAGLET" folding pocketknife being sold for $31.00.

FAGLET is how the seller described the tang stamp.

I'm reasonably sure most of you will recognize it for what it really is.

I must admit I don't recognize it, but it's a heck of a nice looking knife and somebody who did recognize it probably got a great deal on it.

I did see that one and bid on it but I thought that it was a German brand...guess I missed something....


It just hit me....EAGLETON?

But I have no idea as to the history of that brand...

Eagleton Knife Co. is correct. 1875 - 1900. They were the importer.

Made by Wester & Butz, a German manufacturer.

so whats the scoop on eagleton did they actuall make knives or just sell them with there stamp?

Goins only provides the name and dates.
Levine says the knives were made by Wester & Butz of Germany and states 1890's.

For some reason that I cannot recall, I knew in the back of my mind that Eagleton was a nineteenth century knife company. I wasn't aware of the German connection.
