"Made in Sheffield" 1830-1930, A golden age ?

Brad.

Just some absolute beauties there- you are indeed a lucky man. I jus love looking at those early English knives. Thank you guys.
 
Brad I love the stag on the pen knife, may not be narley (like today's stag), but I like that top cut stuff and the pearl is also a nice piece. I have a number of older pearl pieces that have some hairlines. If I can get john to shoot some pictures I will get them posted.

I probably should put this in BRL's Forum but…Can any of you guys help with this one? The owner thought it to be Rodgers, I don't think so but he is convinced it is Sheffield. Any input appreciated.

Another Horseman, this one I am not too sure about. Tang stamp reads Harrods? Could this be a contract knife for the department store of the same name? Some of the blades are marked Sheffield as well. Goin's has no attributes for this marking. If I am out of line on dating let me know and I will delete.

Beautiful knives Brad. I think you are right, that this is a knife made in Sheffield for the London department store.
 
Not sure about that wooden handled easy opening knife, not Rodgers or Sheffield made IMO.

Agree with Jack the Moseley & Son & Harrods most certainly look Sheffield made. Lovely knives Brad :thumbup:

As mentioned before, most knives made by the various makers were made to common patterns if those two horseman's were the same size their parts would most likely be interchangeable..

This thread is a place of wonder and amazement!
Astounding additions lately! Thanks Mick, Charles, Duncan, Nathan, Lyle et. alia for your great presentations.
This strange Beasty seems to belong in this thread, by virtue of its origins, if not its class!:)

Also posted in BRL's thread, because of its stamp spelling, among other questions!

I've found a number of these raspberry cane cutters online lately. Seem very similar to your cutter Charlie. For example...

Time to bump this thread. John has just taken a few photos for me of some of my Sheffield pearls. Here is the Rodgers Cutlers to His Majesty whittler (Goins: prior to 1900). A hairline crack through the engraved name on the pearl.

This thread went into hiding for a while!
Thanks for the reference, S-K. A lot of interesting pieces and information on that site.

Nice Pearl, Charles! Appears untouched but for the crack.
 
Thanks Charlie: I'm guessing the owner put it away after he found the crack.

I echo Charlies thoughts on the knife Charles-its funny - this morning I put up a comment on the knife - but its not there? - me in my haste most probably didn't do the post button.
I love the stamping on such early knives-JR knives especially - The type face used is just great, something I wish that someone like GEC put into place when replicating a great old knife- like they are doing now with Charlie-but I am guessing this means A LOT of money going into tooling such equipment to do that job.
To see such a knife that is far an Antique in such condition really is a treat - and Charles, you have been "treating" us pretty well in every meaning of the word- so thank you!
 
Duncan, The treat is mine to be able to share my collection with people who appreciate vintage and knives in general.

Two very smart looking Rodgers Charles, I like both very much. The pearl whittler has a kind of unusual shape..I reckon the knife could be Edwardian (1901-10) but it could have been made a little later and the two bladed jack knife 1936 ? (Edward 8th). Always tough to date knives with any certainty..

Thanks for showing..Mick
