Actually, the letters in the boxes are a "W" and a "H" (NOT Whitehead & Hoag).
Sorry about that, that was my typo to say M and H when it can be clearly seen to say W and H. I had read your posts about Whitehead and Hoag going back to March and saw that it could not be them as they were marked Newark. That is a valuable source for the tang stamps to be filed away for future use. Thanks for the info.New_Windsor_NY wrote: ↑Tue Oct 26, 2021 9:00 pmActually, the letters in the boxes are a "W" and a "H" (NOT Whitehead & Hoag).
"W H, in separate scalloped-edge square cartouches (1898, no. 28744):
Wilhelm Hasselbach, Solingen. Registry class: 9b. Style: roman. Note: accompanied by ‘No. 21’."

A guide to manufacturers and distributors, their trademarks and brand names, 1850–2000.
The information pertains to the tang stamp, NOT the actual pocket knife.
Here is the link to the information.
