Miller Bros. 1863-1926
Re: Miller Bros. 1863-1926
Just finished going all thru this thread looking at all the awesome old Miller Bros, some really nice knives here. Was a little surprised that none of the old Signal Corps knives that they made, showed up in posts, here is mine showing obvious use.

Here is a dogleg jack with a name on the shield, which I assume, refers to what was once a brand of Canadian cigarettes.

Very nice Ike ... I believe it is a fairly rare knife and I have only seen one other with the same shield... Nice score ...

Another nice one Ike! I don't remember seeing Old Kentucky cigarettes up here, however, I was never a smoker.

Lee, thank you. I was wondering how many more were out there or if another would surface after I posted this.
Dan, thanks for the comment. I had not heard of that brand of cigarettes either, until I researched a little after getting this knife. I never was able to find dates, but I got the impression that they were only around in the early 20th century, so, probably not around in our lifetimes.

Awesome knife Ike ... Another one of those knives that has it all from nice bone, a cool etch and even a rare shield ... Nice addition to your other "Old Kentucky" shield above ...

Great looking knife, Ike. I like the Old Kentucky stuff as well.

Ike, you continue to find the jewels.
Re: Miller Bros. 1863-1926
Picked up this bare end Jack, has had very little use and has outstanding bone.
