Per GOINS (1998 edition).....

Apparently not much is widely known about this company.
Levine, in LG4, has them:
- Located in Worcester, MA
- Made in Germany?
- Type of firm wholesale?
- Dates c 1890?
-He rates their collectability as medium.

Welcome to AAPK. You did good on that knife. Be careful to not over clean it as that will reduce some of the value.____Dave

Wow! Cool old knife.

Nice old knife. Fun to find one like that. Harold

Thanks for the replies trying to decide if I want to sell it and the value
