Here is one that I am very proud to own, knife is marked JBF Champlin and other than the cracks in the covers is mint. Pre 1890 for sure!!!

I'm excited about finding this Jonathan Crookes. Some sources give the dates 1780-1827. Could this really be a 200 year old knife?

There seems to be a mark above the name, but I can't make it out. If it's G (crown) R, that would be one of the King Georges, right?

Don't feel bad about not knowing. Neither did I, nor just about anybody else, I expect. What's the odds of finding an old forgotten Barlow in that condition, I wonder ?

I love it !!!

Anyone that knew about Battle Axe Barlows, please raise hand. Charlie don't count !

R8shell- Sweet Crookes!

Could it also be from 1827 forward?
I am not sure if Johnathan Crookes & Son used the “& son” on the Tang Stamp??? Hope Jack or others add, love the mystery’s that come with neat old Knives.
This is the perfect knife for this Thread “Old Knives”

Thanks!

It is a mystery, indeed.
I notice that the font used for "Crookes" has serifs, but "Jonathan" is sans-serif. I don't know what that means. It doesn't match the stamp on this ink eraser.

I've had this Miller Brothers for a while now but never got around to taking pictures until today. Other than a few marks on the spey blade its pretty minty with sharp blades and fleam. The fleam sticks out a bit on the end for opening, I think. I've been keeping an eye out for any abscesses on the cats so I could try out the fleam but no luck so far...
