Gents and Pens!!!

Pulled these two older knives out.
Top one is an IXL Sheffield that was my grandfathers. I don't know much about it or its exact age.
Bottom one is my dads. Probably given to him from his dad many years ago. He passed several years ago at 96. Marked Latama Italy?

I'm a fan of GEC 33s, especially the SS acorns. Pic hosted on BF ("insert image", click "Drop", select file)

Thank you sir. My dad was a conductor on the Rock Island which explains my affinity for them ... only to find out they are a wonderful little knife. While digging through old pics for this thread found this beautiful lobster made by Joel Chamblin and owned by Charles Lamb when I snapped these pics.

I'll bite. What is the thin little blade some of these have?

They have file teeth so suppose one could use them as a fingernail file. Name implies the pick maybe to eat seafood. Chuko's thread dedicated to Orange Blossom Lobsters Orange Blossom Lobster thread

I read that thread and Charles confirmed it was indeed a fingernail file.

Interesting! I was debating between nail grooming and pipe tool myself, I had not picked up this was what was being called a lobster. I will admit I was a little confused reading the thread 😂
 
Chief- John my friend, thank you for that, I will look into doing that, I don't want jack to miss out in anyway.

I agree with what Charlie said about the knives - Phew! stunning to say the least, the photography is a bit here and there - but hey! 😂 😂 🤣

In all seriousness, wonderful shots as well :cool:
