Mystery Knife Game

[galvanic1882]

So here is the story on the knife. It came in a batch of knives that were found in the home of the last President and Chairman of the board for Cattaraugus Cutlery. His grandson found them in his home and asked to sell them, which I have been doing. This knife was in the roll, and we believe that it was his grandfather's personal knife. Cattaraugus offered in their post 1920 catalog picture handled knives, but I am not sure if they put the handles on this one or if they had another company, do it?? The pattern number on the secondary blade is 22579, which is right for the frame but not the handles, the 9 means it was a bone handled knife. If it was a picture or Fiberiod handled knife it would have been a 4 at the end!!!

in the handle is not a picture but the name J B F CHAMPLIN!!!

Check out the pictures without the covering.
