Re: Old and Obscure Brands
Here is a tang stamp I've not seen before.
JOHN
CHATILLON
& sons NY
I think it is a moose pattern with smooth bone handles and steel liners and bolsters. Clip side bolster is larger than the Spey side. 4 1/4" long closed. Still snaps like a gator. Anybody else have one or information about the company? I think they made scales for weighing but not sure what else. Thanks Steve B.
PS. Sorry for the fuzzy pictures. Gotta get a real camera.

Keep your edge sharp, otherwise you just can't cut it.
Looking for Carrier Cutlery and early Robeson with Elmira tang stamps.

Nice knife and love the handles. Goins says they made knives,cleavers, and other butcher tools from 1835 till about 1937 when they stopped making knives, but still in business at the time of Goins printing. Hope that helps.

Thanks Bill. I was hoping someone with a Goins book would see this. Good info.

Re: Old and Obscure Brands
Your knife was made by Phoenix Knife Co. Chatillon owned it until it burned down in 1917.I have had that pattern marked like yours and Phoenix.Great pattern.bladebuddy wrote:Here is a tang stamp I've not seen before.

Re: Old and Obscure Brands
Roger, thanks for the info on CHATILLON and Phoenix knife. I've never seen a Phoenix tang stamp in real life. Another one to add to the Holy Grail list. Thanks Steve B.

Re: Old and Obscure Brands
Man, check out the stag on that beauty!!
Here's one I think is pretty obscure, I can't find ANY info on it at all. Both blades stamped "Best Ever Cutlery Co.-New York", also has a faint etch on the primary blade. Single heavy backspring with spacers to offset blades. I'm thinking maybe a contract brand from Schrade?

Re: Old and Obscure Brands
Another rather obscure brand on this 3 1/4" advertiser jack. B & B St. P MN USA = Brown and Bigelow, St. Paul, Minnesota. The Cargill on the handle is a HUGE ag business in the Twin Cities.

Re: Old and Obscure Brands
Cargill is huge everywhere.
Re: Old and Obscure Brands
Doesn't Levine mention that brand in one of his earlier editions?peanut740 wrote:Your knife was made by Phoenix Knife Co. Chatillon owned it until it burned down in 1917.I have had that pattern marked like yours and Phoenix.Great pattern.bladebuddy wrote:Here is a tang stamp I've not seen before.

Sure are some incredible pieces of history in this thread of old and obscure.

Re: Old and Obscure Brands
Spotted this knife in a grouping on Ebay. They are still for sale.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Lot-of-7-Antiq ... SwKvJavpBh
This beautiful knife, unfortunately, has a broken pen blade.
Cocobola handles, I think. Nice bar shield.
Tangs are stamped QUAKER CITY / CUTLERY / CO. with a representative William Penn like Quaker logo on the back of both tangs.
Goins says circa 1886 to 1935 and a trademark of H. DISSTON.
SMITH & SELTZER was the exclusive agent for the brand.
I think that is a great knife.
Photos should expand with a left click.
