An old Iroquois Knife.

Very recently, my trip to the post office produced this lobster or gentlemans', pattern or style of pocket knife. It now becomes my most recent example to be posted under this topic or thread. It also became the most recent example to be added to my general, pocket knife accumulation. It is an ORANGE CUTLERY COMPANY, one blade, one tool (a file with a blade tip), two tang stamps, 3" closed, lobster or gentlemans', pattern or style of pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "ORANGE (over) CUT. CO. (over) WALDEN, N.Y." The tool back tang stamp also says, "ORANGE (over) CUT. CO. (over) WALDEN, N.Y." The main handle side has an applied MASONIC symbol, logo, or emblem, with "JrO UAM" (Junior Order of United American Mechanics). The main blade does have a SOFT half stop. The main blade does have a GOOD opening snap. The main blade does have a GOOD closing snap. The tool does have a SOFT half stop. The tool does have a GOOD opening snap. The tool does have a VERY GOOD closing snap. Overall, this pocket knife is in GOOD condition. This pocket knife did NOT require any cleaning at all. I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.

***** NOTE ***** NOTE ***** NOTE ***** NOTE *****
AAPK member lt632ret (R.I.P.), wrote a short article regarding ORANGE CUTLERY COMPANY and included pictures of
three tang stamps and four different ORANGE CUTLERY COMPANY pocket knives. The article and the pictures
can be found in his book, "Knives of the Hudson Valley - 160 Years of American Cutlery History"
The whole book is a VERY INTERESTING and VERY INFORMATIVE read.

Here is a brand I’ve never seen before. Droeschers in an arch over SRD with an arrow through over Brand.
I found this at an antique shop in a box of junk knives. It doesn’t have country of origin on it.
Levine guide has the company located in NYC and made in Sweden ? A wholesale importer from 1891 - 1924. Nice old bone!

This knife was the only thing drawer that was stuck in an old tool box I purchased at a garage sale for $10. I can’t find anything about it online but thought it was worth finding out about. Can anybody tell me anything about it?

????????

Made in Japan(?) or Pakistan(?)
Here are some EBay ads for "SFB" knives.
There are probably more.
