"Old Knives"

Trappernate- neat Ols Case- Im surprised theres not too much commenting on that knife?

Augies - LOVE that ol Catt Circular Stamping!

Ted - a grouping of some neat Pearl beauties there - nice shot!
 
I'm sure others do as well - I haven't varieties the date of the stamp - but that's easy- all I know is I have seen little of the very early Case knives ( pre 1920's ).

Value isn't something we would discuss here - Bernard Levine has a service that is very well worth his money for valuations - if you go to Bernard Levines Thread - click on his name to view his lists of services he offers.
 
Well done Jake! Boy I tell ya - if my Visa wasnt so damaged I would have snapped that peach seed up my friend - nice knife!, and KJ is just a very very generous guy!
Nice going there KJ!
 
Thank you, Duncan. I'm very happy to add them to my collection. I'm a stockman guy and one of the first knives that I bought with my own money was a Schrade 8OT. And this is my first tuxedo pattern.

I thought I sized them down, :o I'll fix 'em, nuthin' drives me crazier than super big long loading pics. Turns out they were 3800X2600 so I resized them they should load much faster now. Sorry :o
 
Nice looking knives lately,been busy and hadn't got to check em out.....I really do
appreciate everyone posting these......I have one on the way I hope will make the cut to this thread....
I keep seeing all these knives that KJ must have owned,WOW some beauts.......Im partial to Easy Openers
and Tear Drop Jacks,single blade Trappers,etc......Just sayin KJ.......:D
Please keep em coming,I can at least look at everyone elses......JD
 
Jack, I think I'm going to need your help on this one, can't find much about it. I'm assuming it's a pre 1890 English pruner, supposedly came out of a vintage English tool chest. The maker is marked HAGUE, maybe T HAGUE and the number 3 on the back.

Really well made and still tight with alligator snap, stag pretty well matched.

Appreciate any input anyone may have.

Hi Augie You may have this but Levine has aT.E. Hague Sheffield with Mfr ? and no dates.He lists 2 other Hagues, Geo T sheffield 1893 and Samuel,1830s 50s

Great pruner, Love those end capped knives. Congrats

Best regards

Great pruner you have there. Love the stag!!!! This is one of my favorite threads but then again not surprising I guess love all the old knives posted.

That's a beauty Augie. It could be Thomas B Hague. According to Tweedale, Thomas B Hague was a spring knife manufacturer first in Holly Street and then Cambridge street (Sheffield) approximately 1873 to 1892. There is no mention of the name/company continuing on after that but, based on the link in the previous post, it seems that knives were still appearing for at least a few years later.
