My latest yard sale find....I have no idea what I have yet, still doing research....If you can help identify it I would be greatly appreciative!
Maybe a 1800s era Sportsmans/campaign? Does anyone know what each tool is or does?
I have a feeling that I did good for .50 cents...
Thanks for any help!






 
As the blade indicates, it's a W. Martin & Sons, Sheffield (England) gents knife with gentlmen tools like the hangar for carrying your ladies bags. Sheffield was thinking ahead when adding 2 hangars for the real gents out there.

That gentlmen tool is housing not one but two hangars?
 
No, those are not hangers.

The larger one is a tool for cleaning a stone out of a horses hoof, and the smaller one is a button hook. Both tools are from the late 1800's to early 1900's.
 
Think you got your money's worth Brandon!!
Nice score on a very interesting tool!

Thanks for the education guys! What a neat find!
I didn't get it alone for .50 cents, but all in all that's about what I paid for it in the package deal ...I'm also the proud new owner of a plastic McDonald's Chewbacca cup among other things..
cant stop singing "Macklemore, thrift shop" even tho it was a yard sale......"Imma take your grampa's style.....Imma take your grampa's style".....
