"Old Knives"

[Augie]

Nice pen with very nice bone Duncan

I'm always keen to add to my Pen knives, many of these are amazingly built and extremely attractive, often with Killer Bone!
Imagine my surprise when I opened up a box of knives that I received from our friend Roland, and inside this extremely kind Gesture of this little wonder being gifted to me....
Henry Sears Pen, the actions still to this day are as smooth as Silk, with such crisp snap!
If you take the time to look at the Bone and the wonderful Jig Work- you can appreciate everything about this wee thing.

Blades showing surface Rust some areas with very slight pitting, at some stage this was simply put away for some time, I am glad its ventured out again!

The tiniest of Tip Bolsters, and that small Bail so nicely finished off!

Very very nice Duncan, I thank (blame) you for my interest in pen knives and I just received a beautiful wee Remington that I'll have to post here soon. It just arrived Saturday and the bone is what drew me to it. Mine has tip bolsters as well but the bail on yours just makes it so nice back to the tip bolsters, I swear mine are integral

Here you go Duncan, it's a sweet wee pen
The Remington falls into the 1933-1935.

Also arriving yesterday is a Maher & Grosh, similar to the recent release of "The Trapper" from OVC Nice ebony covers in overall great shape Not sure of an approximate age of the Maher & Grosh?

I'm always looking for nice Washington Jacks, landed a nice unused 4 line Camillus last week and pleasantly surprised to find it's only 3", most are 3 3/8" to 3 5//8". I guess this makes it a boy's Washington Jack. Can't remember ever seeing another.

Thank you Charlie, should have seen the look on my face when I unpacked it and saw how small it was.

Here's an odd, old knife:
"Marx & Co. Maniago"

4 3/4" long, and unfortunately it's seen the grinder a time or two.

I couldn't find much, except that there was a German businessman named Albert Marx, who was an owner of a cutlery co-operative in Maniago, Italy from 1907 to 1914. Coricama (Coltellerie Riunite di Caslino e diManiago)

That's a really cool old Knife R8shell and in every way deserves to be in this Thread! It has that Italian type of Flair doesn't it! Very
