Re: Vintage Mother Of Pearl (MOP) Knives
I did a dive through the drawers and found a few MOPs that may be of interest to this thread. The first two photos are of two A. Field & Co. pen knives. I really like the banded covers of the first one and the threaded bolsters of the second. The third and fourth photos are of a New York Knife Co. manicure with a nice corn blade. The fifth and sixth are a W. H. Moreley & Son manicure. The nail file is on the underside of the pick blade. Seven and eight are of a little Queen. I love that smokey gray of this little guy. The last photo is of a Press Button Knife I forgot to photograph closed. All of these knives are in as found condition.

I picked up this 3 and 1/4" MOP whittler for $3 a while back and realized that I had not posted it. The tang stamp is Garland Cutlery Co. Germany.

3 bucks and a true whittler too. No manicure blade in the secondaries. Very nice; beautiful actually.
Very nicely ground blades and those bolsters!
I've got a Garland around here somewhere. I don't think it's a pearl but it is well made.

Re: Vintage Mother Of Pearl (MOP) Knives
Actually it does have a nail file blade if you look closely at the pics. I was searching Garland on AAPK and saw a picture of your Garland in an older thread. It is a nice one.

Very cool OC
Re: Vintage Mother Of Pearl (MOP) Knives
Ha! I missed that.
Still a wonderful old knife, of course.
Thank you OLDE CUTLER.

Re: Vintage Mother Of Pearl (MOP) Knives
Another recent acquisition is this Remingtom MOP pen with tip bolsters. It is 2 and 3/4" OAL closed with a bail. It is about right to carry as a watch fob knife with that bail coming in handy. Tang stamp is Remington UMC in a circle and the pattern number on the pile side of the larger blade is R6844.

Re: Vintage Mother Of Pearl (MOP) Knives
This Landers, Frary and Clark pocket knife arrived recently in a group or lot of pocket knives that I purchased. It now becomes my latest example to be posted under this topic or thread. I did NOT purchase the group or lot of pocket knives to obtain this particular pocket knife. However, it definitely turned out to be a keeper and it did get added to my general, pocket knife accumulation. It is a L. F. & C., two blades, one tang stamp, 2 13/16" closed, mother of pearl handles/scales, tipped bolsters, one spring, pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "L.F. & C. (over) U.S.A." One side displays a FEW NICE colors. The other side displays MANY, MANY, BEAUTIFUL colors. Unfortunately, my camera just can NOT capture the full beauty of this pocket knife. The main blade does NOT have a half stop and NO opening or closing snap. The secondary blade also has NO half stop and NO opening or closing snap. This pocket knife is in EXCELLENT condition. It did NOT need any cleaning at all. I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.
