Nice palette knife, Berryb. ::tu::

I bought this palette knife from Scott. Hand forged from J. Russell & Co., Green River Works.
I think it's pretty early and has one of my favorite shades of green on it.
Thanks for looking.

And thank you, Scott.

Not a knife, but marked on the box Royal Rochester and Robeson Cutlery Co. Most likely made by the older Rochester Stamping Company, another business owned by Millard F. Robeson.

Not mine, it sold on Ebay. I did bid though, didn't get it.

No MFG. Name on these guys.
Both have "Flip-Over" adjustment for large to small nuts.
The nut picks were obviously a Christmas gift to Jeannette from mid to late 1800s.

19th century moustache comb!

Ivory handles, shield, and pseudo hallmarks on a nickel silver comb blade. It walks and talks just like a pocket knife :D

Let's see'em if you got 'em ::tu::

This is something a little more modern but not a knife made by Schrade under their Tradesman brand of tools.
It's called a T-Bevel Plus.

This one isn't necessarily a knife, but it does include one in the handle.
I found this to be the most handy putty knife in my toolbox.
It comes in two different widths and is one of my favorite tools for patching sheet rock.

I take it the cigar cutter blade will lock closed and is spring loaded.

Exactly right Charlie, the blade pops open just like a switch blade knife.

Can't remember just when I bought this. Price on the box, new, was $7.25 so it must be in the 80's. I don't use it because it looks like something I could remove the skin of my fingertips using. Wonder if they're still offered? J.O'.
