I'm looking into it. I'm meeting a Barlow expert in Titusville!! Maybe he knows!!
I'll report back eventually!! It's a great knife you've got there, especially that brand!!!
You should send pictures to Bill Howard!!! ;)

That's a nice knife Steve. Looks to be well made. In the GEC book there is a chapter about a man in Titusville assembling knives and using a Tidioute tang stamp, I think in the 1950's to 1960's but my memory could be wrong.
They don't show up very often if it is one of his.

Garland Cutlery, 1913 to 1940. Lovely Bone on this Knife- in fact the Bone looks somewhat better than these photos because of the harsh lighting.

Blades have been cleaned- not by me- yet they still have Sharpening Marks- so I'm guessing an attempt to make the Knife a little better before sale- I don't like buying cleaned Knives and photo's ( close ups ) were not a thing where I purchased this from, in saying this Im still glad to have this Knife- I really like the Bone and it's Jig work and it's Colouring that beats hand down the Photo Colouring.
What I believe is the original Button chain?
Iron Bolsters, Iron Hammered Pins - I think it's just a neat Knife all round.

Lovely strong Walk and Talk ( I mustn't have taken open Knife photo's- can't find them for the life of me?).

Duncan I missed that knife, great knife, love it!

I've only seen a few Garlands, I've got a stag barlow that is also a very well made knife.

Steve I love that Utica, everything about it makes it a good Knife- isn't it strange- when we say something from the 70's we oh yeah not that old- but for a 50 year old Knife- That's pretty impressive, I'm 59 I wish I looked that good 🤣 .

That Dogleg Jack is a beauty as well, you have been shopping eh Steve? with the small highlights we see in the Bone I bet that changes nicely in direct Sunlight! I don't blame you picking it up!
It doesn't look to have had much use in it's lifetime - very cool! I really like the Jig work!

Augie matey - Darn that's a nice Barlow - Stunning Stag, Blades are nice and full - That Spear has everything! That's wow factor that one imo.
 
Amazing knives, Steve. To get a pre GEC Northfield and Tiduote in the same week in that condition is pretty cool if you ask me. Congrats on the pickups buddy.
