This tang stamp of "Henry Sears Co." is making me a little more confused ::shrug:: then I normally am... ::paranoid:: anyone have any idea about this old timer? I see different tang stamps but nothing that is exactly "Henry Sears Co." I posted this under the "Specific Knife Forums Camillus Cutlery Collector's Forum" thinking it was made by Camillus... ::shrug:: I am hoping the experts will have some insights ::hmm::

Thanks to Roger added a Henry Sears & Sons 1865 curved sheepsfoot jack to the collection this week. 3 5/8" with a thick heavy feel to it. To me it is very aesthetically pleasing to the eye with the curve of the frame and the sheepsfoot blade.

Hi. I've got this Henry Sears knife, and I wanted to find out how old it is. Either my Dad's or my Grandpa's, not sure. Anybody know how to find out the age?
