I am looking for information on a long blade kissing crane logo (melon tester?) Knife that has been in my family for a long time.
I do not see a country of origin, or any other markings.
Can anyone help me to identify the age and country of origin?

Don't know, but it's not current. Guessing mid-20th century if those handles are celluloid, Earlier knives have bone or stag handles. I think the company has been around since 1834. Good luck with it, it's a mice piece J.O'.
