Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
That Camillus cleaned up real nice. I like the advertising shield and as slick looking cell.
Those scissors are at least 156 years old. From my limited understanding, there was a society wide militarization push in Prussia around 1860. Most young men were forced or pressured into military service. There was an immigration surge at the same time, and here in the Midwest they were looking for farmers. Those scissors probably rode a boat across the pond and made their way into a grandson's tool chest.
That's my Etsy store where I sell old knives and sometimes handmade knife accessories to support my knife habbit. Thanks for looking my friend.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Parker and Fields made military stuff as well in the late 1800 s . The machinists box has 3 maybe 4 generations of stuff , folding wooden measuring stick , some tsp and dies. And some stuff with Duluth, Mn . Matches , letterhead, etc . So It was probably on the Harbor / Bay side of town for some time . If old knives, tools could tell tales !ThatWeirdKnifeGuy wrote: ↑Mon Jun 22, 2026 1:45 pmThat Camillus cleaned up real nice. I like the advertising shield and as slick looking cell.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
This one just found me. I have about a dozen Nutcrackers I put out at Christmas, so I had to pre-order. 

Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
I didn't find this as much as it found me. I bet some of you are like me...at work, I'm the "knife guy". People always know to come to me for sharpening, or if they need to cut something. Anyway, one of my coworkers has been cleaning out his mother's house. He gave me all of these, said they had belonged to his grandfather. There's nothing horribly valuable there, but as most family possessions go, they can be priceless. He wasn't interested in them though, and I wouldn't typically turn down stuff like this.
The knives are cool though. There are some not marked, but others named sta-brite, Handy Andy Federal Cutlery, Geneva Stainless, Dexter Southbridge MA, Universal (LF&C?), and Warwick Sheffield. Like most knives of this type, they served a purpose and weren't always treated with TLC.
The strop is neat, and the crank sharpener is a Dazey Sharpit.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
A couple I got last week for the eye collection. Was told the clod buster wasn’t ment for import into the usa is why it is stamped like it is. Anyone know anything about where it may have been marketed ? Other is a straight line with pile side eye , has the wax paper with it.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Very nice, and I like the fact that each tool is stamped with the maker's mark.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
I have one that looks similar, but is by a different German manufacturer. They do not seem to be very expensive, but being a German Eye may raise the value of yours some some.
Definitely a sweet item to have though!
