Another antique mall find! This is a great barlow knife although I don't know much about the history of this knife. I cleaned it up and but I can't read the tang stamp, the price tag said it was from Massachussets with no date at all. The letters on the tang stamp are worn but I can make out "ENK DWE CO." on the top and on the bottom "QUIN" on the bottom. Its a great knife, very solid and the blade pull was about a 6 before I flushed out everything, now its a 10!!! I am going to try and work at it still. The handle is a candy like sawcut brown that has been repaired with what looks like a resin mixed with sawdust to try and match the handle covers. If anyone has any info about where this came from or could point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated. I would like to know more about the history of this knife. Also I sharpened it it up and into the pocket it went because it still has a lot of history left.
Wow thats fantastic Augie, I have been slowly using and steel wool on it, its removing alot of the black stains. This knife is so well made for its age, its solid with a very pronounced walk and talk, "Snap, Clap".
Thanks for the information, its greatly appreciated. I always like seeing your pics in this thread as well.
