Any Love for Orange Blossom lobsters?

Fantastic showing of a pattern seldom seen out West, in fact, I've never seen one for sale at any antique stores or swap meets, and I've been to a few here in Washington. Really unusual and, I imagine, difficult to produce even back in the day.

I found a Remington 'orange-blossom lobster' yesterday at an antique mall in Virginia. It has milled liners, sunken joints, and stag handles (all odd for Remington). Pattern number is R6456. Beautiful design. Mine is missing one of the small blades (snapped off), but still a worthy knife. WOOT! I'll post photos when I'm back from traveling.

Forgot to add: 3" length, no cracks or chips, beautiful stag.
I know Remington made bullet knives in stag, but not many patterns. Anybody know of other smallish knives made by them in stag?
 
Gary:
Nice stag on the Remington OB. Most of my OB are pearl, but I have a few in bone and stag. John has them right now to photograph. I'll post as soon as possible. Thanks for reviving this thread.

Anybody have a list of makers of stag orange blossoms?
The Remington posted above is the only one I've ever had/seen.
 
Thanks. I have a few more that John is photographing that are stag, but this is the only W.R.Case. John captured the beauty though.

Jeff: No, I've never carried one to use, they are part of my collecting treasure. I've always been intrigued with the complicated construction of lobsters and the additional level with whittler blade configurations that an OB has. Just too hard to find for me to carry. They are small (3") and would be an easy carry though.

Charles
 
Excellent stag but somehow bizarre too!

The mark side has like a marrow groove or 'melt-line' down it which contrasts fantastically with the rest of the scale. Truly beautiful material for a complex pattern, apt.

Regards, Will
 
Will, thanks for the comments. Can you help me understand your term melt-line?
Charles
 
Just my words, it looks like the top part has almost started 'melting' into the rest of the scales. Never seen a piece of stag like that before, truly unique I'd say, wonderful example.

Regards, Will
 
It certainly caught my eye. OB's are hard to find and the few in stag and bone I have obtained are even more difficult. Thanks for the feedback and your interest. Here is my Remington in stag:
