Charlie (Waynorth) is contacting a few people regarding this knife. This may shed more light on the origins of the knife. :)

I have showed the Marbles around to a few people, with mixed results. But nothing definitive. The expert on the west coast has sadly, passed away. He had the most comprehensive Marbles collection on the planet!
I think if it is posted on Bernie Levine's forum, some interesting info might emerge.
 
Randy - That is only the second The Hatch Cutlery Co knife I have seen. They went out of business in 1899 and were bought by Challenge Cutlery.
The ax shield is very cool. Thanks for sharing.

Same here. I have only seen 2 ever. There was a beater on theBay last year and it went stupid high??? I didn't know just how rare they are until I started asking around.

+1 - I have seen another somewhere. :confused::confused::D
 
then you may also like this example of a W. H. Morey & Sons. The shield is similar but has a few differences.



and a bonus... Big ol' Russell Barlow with some of the best looking bone I have ever seen..

Found this in my pile. Looks like a bit of a jalopy, the construction is weird, with the blades sitting so high in the frame. Still a neat knife.

Looks like "Prolific, HB & Son, Sheffield"

Anyone have any info on this one?



 
The blades have the mark of Henry Barnascone & Son Glenn. I'm just dashing for a train to Sheffield, but in the meantime, you might find this thread of interest http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...Jack-With-Swiss-Heritage?highlight=Barnascone Henry Barnascone was Lewis Barnascone's brother, moved to Sheffield around 1851. More later, but that frame is a fairly common one I think, and the blades look to me as if they might have been intended for a different knife, what do you think?

Sorry, more later, got to dash! :thumbup:

Glenn, I agree with Jack. The blades are a very poor fit; both in the open and closed position. The short mop scales, German silver bolsters and steel pins are very typical of Solingen made knives in the early 1900s.
