Hey Fodderwing, what is the brand of the Barlow in the middle with the “H” stamped on the bolster?

All three knives are Hibbard, Spencer & Bartlett

Thanks! Is the one with H is that an older model?

Yes sir but I can't say how old. waynorth Charlie or John Augie would know.

Here’s a Tuna Valley.

Yes sir but I can't say how old. waynorth Charlie or John Augie would know.

The H is definitely the oldest, all are around WW2 or before, the 2 Our Very Best are most likely Camillus made, not sure who made the H marked one. The H marked one is a very hard to find barlow.
A Camillus Tip Top, most likely what the OVB's are made from.

Thanks for the info! I thought it would be a “older” “rare” one to find. I’ve searched a lot of antique stores in the past and have yet to come across one or I would most defiantly had picked it up.
