I took some new photos last weekend of some mother of pearl handled knives. Please add yours to the thread.
I don't know why, but the first thing that came to my mind when I saw these was:
GETCHA MUDDA UH PUHEAL!... GETCHA MUDDA UH PUHEAL HEAH!!!
(for the full effect, you have to say that with the best East coast ballpark vendor accent you can muster)
Sick, I know.
Hi sunnyd. That is a sweet knife. Goins lists H Boker & Co's Improved Cutlery 1869-1914. Does your knife have Germany marked underneath? In my opinion, your tree stamp looks most similar to the 1900 version in Goins. That's all I have for now.
Well, 'Germany' would have ruled out pre 1891 but the absence of Germany is not really that helpful. My hypothesis based on the 1900 mark in Goins and the 1907 penknife would place your knife in that general time period. Sorry I can't be more definitive. Maybe someone much wiser than I in these matters will help us.
