The Venerable Old Barlow

[Ivoryman]

Picked up the Case from Charlie Compagna and his private pile. Looooooooooooooooooove the saw cut bone and the red bone. Nice condition too. The Drake Well Queen from another seller at the OKCA show. Loooooooooooooooove the Queen Saw Cut bone too. And man did Queen put together some sweet Drake Well commemorative knives in 1972. Cannot say enough about these knives.

Missed those Iman, beautiful pair of barlows, congrats.

Picked up a pretty rare Labelle 3 blade barlow, Goins has 1884-1891. They were in Bridgeport Conn. This is one of those bolster stamps I knew about but never thought would find an example.

Thanks for the mention of the Case and Queen. That one you posted is cool too. Love the bolsters. Another company I've never heard of. You amaze me with being able to continuously find gems. Kudos.

IM, did you see the Wards Barlow Charlie got from me at the show?
I had put stag on it and made a single blade out of it as the pen blade was broken and I didn't have a replacement blade to fit it.
I finished it just before the show and forgot to take any pics!

That Labelle is definitely a centerpiece for any display! Beautiful!

I did not see that. I was only there Saturday, might have missed it if he had it Sunday. Sounds like a beauty though. Love to see some pics if you have any. Thanks for the info.

Quite a unique gem! You should post in the 'bolster' thread, also ..

JohnR, I would be amazed if someone else showed that one but it fits right in with your stuff. Love that you share them with us.

Thanks for the comments on the La Belle everyone

Here are 3 Camillus barlows, the 10 and 11 pattern which is a larger beefier barlow than most. A 4 line, a short line and a longline. The 10's were spears and the 11's clips.

Beauties, John, you never disappoint.

I also just saw that La Belle for the first time, that is one unique, and good looking knife.

[BWT]

Between the LaBelle and the last three, that’s quite a showing John

[Ridgegrass]

That Labelle is a one-knife show on it's own. J.O'.

[1967redrider]

I agree with others, that 3 blade Barlow is the bee's knees.

[JohnR]

Thanks for all the comments guys, appreciated.

Man that is great saw cut bone John, love the Camillus nuggets you managed to dig out. Some incredible knives, all three of them. And the condition is amazing.

Thank you Iman, Camillus did have some nice saw cut, they also used saw cut ebony for awhile, I would guess pre WW2 as they are stamped Sword Brand. I have spear main, clip and spey, don't know if they had a TIP TOP sheepsfoot but if they did I need one.
Repost of an earlier pic to show the ebony.

Just posted the collection in General, then this thread caught my eye, so here we are again.
Just got this one in yesterday.

Some great barlow's John

[galvanic1882]

Only my second barlow that I've kept. Nice Terrier with all iron hardware.
