Capitol Cut Co. Indpls one-blade knife 1904-1948

[raincrowe]

I found another knife made in Indianapolis Ind....also this knife has a trademark for Van Camp Hardware Co...
This knife is stamped Capitol Cut Co. Indpls....(9 or G) or some other meaning below (Very hard to see)
This knife is three and one-half inches...A small saddle-horn style knife with beautiful bone handles
with cast iron pins....good snap...very good condition for a knife that could easily be over 100 years
I would like to thank everyone for looking and maybe get more history and more information on this knife

Thanks....While researching the knives from Indiana I found another knife company (Goins pg.289) W.R.B. Co...Terre Haute Ind. 1920-1929
I thought this neat because it's example of another saddlehorn pattern...

Early bone handles that look like Salisbury Handle Company product. I like it.
