"Old Knives"

Picked up a beautiful Cattaraugus Tuxedo 32653 3 1/2" MOP whittler, saber grind on the main. Has little to no use with factory edges. Pictures don't show how nice the pearl is. Probably the nicest whittler I have in the collection.

Thank You Mike!
I've been trying to get in touch with you but can't send you a PM. Perhaps you can leave me a message on my profile page, unless that's changed to. I can't leave one on yours.
So I'll just ask you the question here, in your years of collecting and research have you run across a list of shields ? Diagrams and names? I know I've seen one someplace but can't remember or find it again!
Much appreciated!

Dave
Dave, I have yet to find a list of shields, but I'll keep looking over the holiday break this week. Charlie has my email address (I think.)
 
Found another Miller Brothers sheepsfoot jack the other day. Really nice jigged bone and full blades. Have the same knife with pick bone. The pick bone has an arched Miller Brothers tang stamp and the newest find has a straight line.
Both quite nice, John!! And it's interesting to see two "eras" of the same model of knife!!
Great finds!!
