The first picture is a 1901 Catalogue I've had for years, over 950 pages of hardware with 100 pages of pocket knives from Boker, to Joseph Rodgers with a few House brands.

Here is a 3 3/4 inch Edwards and sons large pen. Levines 4th says they were retailers in London 1870s however he also said the Edwards brand in Canada was a house brand for this hardware company and this knife is german judging by the steel pins.

The next is a 3 1/4 inch Alfred Fields. Pretty used but still snaps like a trap.

This one is a horn handled Humphries Radiant, a nice tight little knife, 3 1/8th

The next is a bit of a heart breaker, It's lost it pen blade. ;-( A wonderful stag handled Wostenholm whittler with a blade mark "civil service Canada" 4 inches closed. Anyone have a wostenholm blade??? ;-))

The last knife is a neat tiny ivory quill/novelty leg knife by Bingham and Ogden 1858 to 1938 Sheffield.
