Masonic Fob Knife

Post by stockman »

1 5/8" Gold plated knife with Gold Masonic emblem. Hayward-Empire made. Neat little knife with little value. I like it.

Nice little(tiny)fob knife.Just about the right size for trimming the end from a cigar. I have always thought fob knives were under appreciated and I have amassed a rather large collection of them. Some are works of art. I have a couple that the handle material is made up of different types of metal somehow fused together. When I first saw one I thought it was "selective plating" but it you look at it closely you can discern the different metals.
Most of the ones I have have plated handles but a couple have 10k gold(not filled). I will have to see how many different makers I have but there are many. The Miller Brothers were nice as were the I*XL knives.Here are some of mine.
