"Old Knives"

That is a purty Barlow, Paul!!

Thank you Charlie:thumbup:

While you folks have your eyes sharpened, I picked up a couple of pearl pen knives today. The top one is marked Providence Cutlery, but I cant read the bottom one. Something CutleryCo Germany?
Any guesses?

It almost looks like Bismark, but I fear the top line would be off-center. Also there's no Bismark in my Levine 2cd.
I have one just like it stamped Dixon/ Cutlery Co/ Germany, which I'm confident is not what yours says.

Thank you, I thought the same thing. It's hard to look up names when the first few letters are missing. It's driving me crazy, I may have to post it over in the identification forum.

Thanks for trying, Jack. According to zzyzzogeton over in Mr. Levine's subforum, it looks like
Wismar Cutlery Co. Germany.

This seemed to be the best representation of a 19th Century's pocket carry I could muster, (sparing a pipe, pocket watch, and a few skeleton keys). The book was printed in 1854, and this front page was signed and dated in 1858!

Well spotted zzzyzzogeton, clearly not sleeping on the job :thumbup: Glad you were able to get a name r8shell, it's so frustrating when you just can't read a tang stamp :thumbup:

It's almost all there, now we know. My next guess was going to be elvismark.

Some very nice knives the last few pages, or really every page of this long thread. I have not had anything to post for a while, but a friend recently gave me this:

Mike- nice to see you post my friend, I just LOVE Henckels knives, and thats a nice one, what period Mike- I would guess a 40's, 50's knife there?

Oh, that's beautiful!

I had a chance to tour the Zwillingswerk factory in Solingen ages ago and it only occurred to me recently that I'd like to start collecting Henckels pocket knives.

This one is the best I've been able to find so far (with 'best' being relative and me admitting I'm brand new to traditionals and don't know much at all about 'em except that I like the simple look of sodbusters, so when I saw this one, I jumped on it.):

He also has a much worse for wear older brother. I don't know if anything can be done to help him, but I couldn't leave him all by his lonesome.

Sorry for a photo heavy first post in this forum, but it seemed a good place to start. Hiya!

Sorry for not responding Duncan, I haven't been back here since my last post...Thank you my friend, I appreciate your comment. I do like this ole Primble:thumbup:

George Clinton/Bootsy Collins funky? Or old gym socks funky?

Great lookin' Primble. Duncan and Lyle some great knives in your recent posts! Duncan, I think it's pre-WWII and maybe earlier. AlwaysTomboy, welcome to the Henckels collecting club. :thumbup: I would love to tour the factory. Henckels quit making its own pocketknives around 1960.Thanks everyone.

 

[pmew]

This kind of funky

Welcome Tomboy,

Thanks everyone. Another recent pickup is this Winchester candle-end jack. Its 3 1/8 closed. The candle bolster has a slight bevel to it.
