T. Turner & Co. "Encore", circa 1830-37 ....... hard snapping old stag pruner with natural patina, which has withstood the test of time.
Felt like toting my William Tell, Lion of Lucerne pen as well.

Nice Turner! Doesn't the England on the tang stamp indicate post 1891 manufacture?

Don't anticipate any big tasks coming up today - just a run up to the mailbox and a brief stop at the sister-in-law's place so, this Buck 055 will do for pocket carry. Sausage and eggs-up for breakfast.

I have never seen that. You need to say where you read or heard that.
Goins Encyclopedia of Cutlery Markings dated it as 1830-37.
Mr. Jack, however, has said that Goins was not correct on dating some of the Sheffield made knives.
I have never seen any other knife publication that even comes close to giving the information Goins gave us.

Sheffield knives did not have England included in the tang stamp until the US passed the country of origin marking law in 1891. And even then, they often did not have England for knives not intended for sale in the US. This has been discussed many times in Bernard Levine's subforum. To quote BRL himself:

"Country of origin markings date any item after 1/1/1891."

Do you think 055 would be a good option for a first buck? I’d like to try one.

The 55 is a fine pocket knife. It is on the small side. For comparison: Case Mini Copperlock, GEC 83, Buck 55:

They're all pretty close in size.

I finally decided to give that yellow Buck 305 a break, but I was busy this week and haven't had a chance to take / post a picture of this weeks carry.

allergies were thoroughly kicking my butt las week and I didn't end up carrying the Moki B&T much so I decided to stick with it for this week.

Yes, I do. But you might be better off starting with a 501
