Old Teeth! The Beauty of Creation!

Wow Jack, you are stacking up the ivory. Beautiful pieces you have there!

Thanks ADEE, yes she's a looker! Whittler's are a great pattern and have a lot of character that I'm sure you will appreciate. Very nice E Leclere! :thumbup:
 
Great looking scales Jack. Beautiful whittler 67nick.

This is a Joseph Haywood & Co Corn Knife circa late 1800s.

Hi ADEE. Eugene Leclere took over from his father Henry in 1897. This company was most famous for silver engraving and tableware. I think that's a relatively rare knife from the early 1900s.

Thanks very much for the info s-k. Most interesting. I did not realise that the Leclere was that old. I picked it up at the local 2nd-hand market a year or so back.
Your Joseph Haywood corn knife looks fine .. and I love the kettle logo. Regards AD
 
Oh Boy!!! Jack, Adee, S-K, this is a great show..

Another great knife ADEE. Fredrick Asman was well known for silver and silver plated goods. Seems it was in business around 1905-1940.
 
Just for your information ~~ If you want to remove the little spots of heavy oxidation from your blades without removing the patina (Including the in - erds) Go to your local gun specialties store and buy a brass brush for gun cleaning. They cost about two bucks, and are not heavy enough to scuff up your blades but will remove black patina spots with an oil. Have done this many times.
 
That advertising knife has an interesting shape, s-k.
Nice patina also!
 
smiling-knife Thanks again for the info and kind words. It is great to share these old knives and get them out of the box for an airing. The Veuve Clicquot is nice and I always like that style of nail-file / cuticle tool.

Jack Thanks again for your continued support.

Zemapeli Thanks for the tip ... a brass brush is a good safe tool. I do have one but its worn away and needs replacing. I will try it with oil. :thumbup:

Regards ... AD
