America has been the land of plenty. You rarely saw anything but a bar shield on early Sheffield made knives.

Here's an odd Catt with a Sheeps-foot main and punch. Nobody seems to know anything about "FARMER'S GUIDE". I've done lots of searches on line to no avail. Maybe a magazine?? ::shrug:: J.O'.
