Cornwall Knife Co. New York City

I believe they were associated with Camillus.

Had thought that I had a Cornwall knife.
Turns out... I have four!

Looks like I have a Cornwall knife as well, one of the same models as in your photo. Mine is a little rough, but still bad if it is 100 years old.

I thought I'd add another Cornwall to this thread before offering it for auction. This jack is stamped Cornwall Knife Co., N. Y. City. It appears to have never been used, sharpened or carried. It's in as found condition. The rust and oxidation appear to be from improper storage and lack of maintenance over the past one hundred years, rather than off gassing from the composition handles.

That's a fine looking knife, Lama.
Thanks for posting it here.

Thank you.

Just found my first Cornwall.

Cracked Ice, "Kinney Shoes" Ad knife with cap lifter. Funny enough, I had a feeling the secondary would be a cap lifter. For some reason, in my (limited) experience, I've noticed a lot of ad knives have cap lifters. Also, a lot of ad knives are for shoe companies. Anyways, this one will likely stay with me as it seems my "thing" is slowly becoming these jack knives with cap lifter secondaries.

I like the ruler more than the knife

Thanks for posting that little workhorse. I guess the cap lifter was pretty common.
And, yeah, the rule is pretty neat.

Thank you. It will be available at my estate sale.
Patience...
