"Old Knives"

[Augie]

John, wonderful Jumbo Jack It does look like a handful! Boker who owned Valley Forge started adding the VF in a circle in 1916 with a curved tang stamp. The straight line tang stamps with no VF in a circle are older knives or made prior to 1916. Boker bought Valley Forge in 1902.

Thank you for the information Lloyd, helps a lot. This one I posted earlier has the straight line with no VF.

Thank you Charlie. Not counting the "screw driver" part at the end it is 3 1/2". I'm almost certain it's French ivory.

That Boker USA looks like it could have been made in the Valley Forge factory.

Nice! Very possible, I see some resemblance there.

Beautiful knives friends - Charlie - that’s an amazing and very old line up

Fantastic lineup of pruned folders Charlie. That New York looks like carved bone or would that be considered “scratted parchment bone?”

The Joseph Rogers is Scratted Bone, Ralph; The NYK is smooth, dark Cocobola, or ebony - hard to tell!!
