Thanks Charlie, it's been a good couple of weeks. I got a real peach of an Ettrick today too, beautiful buffalo covers, the nicest Ettrick I've ever seen for sure ;)

Hopefully not just 'Worker 34'! :D Before Stan Shaw's time, but hopefully he can shed some light on it :)

The news of a nice Ettrick has me daydreaming!
A nice one arrived from New Zealand today!

The week started slowly, but eventually picked up :)



Hopefully take some more pics over the weekend.

Thanks Duane, they were an unexpected bonus. I think the piece with the tortoise covers in the centre is a Jonathan Hall (1795-1830) :) Just bit me! :eek:

It's too dark here now to take pics, but I hope to get some tomorrow :thumbup:
 
Nice haul.
Is that a little pearl pen knife I see? Sweet!
 
Thanks fellers :thumbup:

Thanks, it is indeed, a Halma. Unfortunately, one of the blades is broken, but it's still a nice piece I think :)
 
Jack,
NICE variety of knives, Thanks for sharing the photos.
The Richards knife is very similiar to the knife that I gave to my to my twin brother 48 years ago.
Nifty tack hammer.
 
Jack, please share some more details about that tortoise shell two part knife/multitool(??)
 
You are having some great luck these days, Jack!
I am happy your efforts are providing fruit!
Some interesting pieces there!

Thanks my friend. Yes, there are a couple of good etches. The razors still need a bit of cleaning, but I'll post pics asap.

Thanks Charlie :thumbup:
 
Here’s the first one, from the batch above. I went to two vintage/antique fairs last weekend, and I only saw one knife, and I doubt it’s any older than the 1960’s. It’d be quite a nice knife if it wasn’t for the spring. Not only does the point sit proud, but there’s no snap to it whatsoever.
