What is your opinion on the maker, Charlie?

I think these are the oldest ones I got so far====>

And for good measure
Here is my 19th century Southington Cutlery Co. square

I don't know enough about that one, Dave. You should post it in Bernie's forum.
It would be interesting to know.

I finally got a chance to take some individual pictures of some of my favorites. Still not the best lighting, but it will have to do. I have posted some of these in other threads as parts of group pictures, so some might look familiar. And I don't have a vast collection of mint knives like Charlie, but I'll start with one I'm sure he will like, an Ulster harness jack.

An Ulster

A Globe Cutlery (Charlie, this sure looks like a Robeson-made knife)

A Royal Brand, the pen blade has the four line Camillus stamp

An Ulster

And for the last post (for now) I'll start with a Krakauer-Zork-Moye's Socs. The blade isn't in the greatest shape, but it has beautiful bone scales.

A New York Knife Company Hammer Brand cattle knife

A Valley Forge, with some of my favorite bone scales

And a Challenge, also with great bone scales

I like the Southington
I need one to match my square!!
I saw a Southington knife on EBAY a few weeks ago but it looked thrashed even from the crappy pictures
They went out of business in 1899 from what I have read...

The Hammer cattle on is pretty cool too!!:thumbup:

 

[waynorth]

A stunning collection, Lambertiana! I can't begin to claim a favorite, but that Ulster is indeed great!!
Thanks for the show!! Good camerawork, too!
