HOLLEY-MASON HDWE CO.

Post by FRJ »

HOLLEY-MASON HDWE CO, SPOKANE WASH , 1910-1930 , 3 15/16" closed.

Originally: Holley, Mason, Marks & Co., 1898

This unique pattern cattle knife? is quite robust. Kind of wide and heavy.
All the pins are peened and it has beautiful pocket worn bones.
Large nickel silver bolsters, shield, pins and liners. Steel springs and blades.
Would someone offer a guess as to who may have made this knife?

It's a pleasure to own this one. I was born in Spokane.

Thanks for looking.

Beautiful knife. I love the blade compliment on that one.

Great Knife, Joe!!

At one time, Holley-Mason hrdwr. was merged with Marshall Wells hrdwr. Don't know if it proves anything, but M-W Zenith brand was contract built by NYKC.

Thank you, WB.
Here's an old Marshall Wells dog leg.
I don't think it's a Zenith.
