Question about ~1850-1920 era knife materials

[Brian.Evans]

On the knives made from the mid 1800s to the early 1900s, what was the predominant liner, bolster, and pin material? I'm designing a swell end jack, and I've about got it done, but I need to decide on materials. I want to do one in ebony, which I have a scrap piece lying around, and maybe one in some jigged honey bone I had from another project. Other than that, I'd hear suggestions.

So basically, what are period correct materials. Factory catalog pages are awesome too if you want to post them!

Brass liners and pins seemed to be popular on the oldies.
