Any Love for Orange Blossom lobsters?

Cool, I see the "teeth" in the groove now that its pointed out. Again I'm amazed at the fitment of blades, and ingenuity of design. Like on some scout patterns, the blade fit is amazing. How they all fit with such precision. Plus the cleverness of the double sided springs.
 
John processed a few more pictures to try and capture the beauty of this knife, so here they all are.

They're a great pattern, this thread is really cool to look through. From what I've read these knives cost more in the day than most of the utilitarian knives that garner big price tags today by collectors. Obviously a ton of work went into these hence the 3-4x price tag at the time.
 
Recently added another orange blossom to the collection, a Moore Handley Hardware purchased from a seller in Pelham Alabama which is where Moore Handley was located.

L-R - Winchester, Remington, Cattaraugus, Moore Handley Hardware most likely a NYKC made knife from what I read

I recently found a Terrier Cutlery Pearl Lobster Knife in a knife roll. This forum seems to have more information than anywhere else I have found. I cant figure out how to upload photos. The handle is cracked at the sheild and has a chip gone from the other side. The blades are tarnished but in decent shape. Where would one go to find a value if there is any?
