I have a bunch of vintage knives for trade. In particular I am looking for vintage New Jersey or Virginia knives, but I will consider other old knives. PM me with questions or offers. Thanks.
1. John Primble, Belknap Hdw & Mfg Co pruner. Jigged composite handles have show some shrinkage but no cracks. There is a blade etch, but all I can make out is "Steel." GONE
2. Camillus camp knife. Bone handles. 1940s-1950s. GONE
3. Unknown bone-handled stockman. The main blade broke off. GONE
4. Iros Keen dog-leg jack. Slick-black handles have some wear but no cracks.
5. Hammer Brand camp knife. jigged composite handles.
6. L F square pen knife. I can't find any info on this maker. The tang has "L F" stamped on it as well as a picture of a crown above a pair of scissors. The handles appear to be faux ivory.
7. Case Tested lobster. Handles are a yellow celluloid. GONE
Trade, Anyone?

Re: Trade, Anyone?
Some more...
1. Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett fishtail. Blade has some side-to-side play when fully opened.
2. Wallkill River Works jack. Candy-stripe celluloid handles.
3. Hammer Brand peanut. Jigged composite handles.
4. Simmons Hardware stockman. Nice striped handles. GONE
5. Imperial advertising jack knife.
6. Clauss pen knife. Bone handles have a couple of stable cracks. GONE
7. McGrew Arkansas swell-center stockman. Has a faint blade etch that reads "Hillbilly-Classic." GONE
8. Kay Bros, Red Mills, NY. The wood handles have a bit of white paint on the front. I believe this is a very rare knife, as I can't find any info on it online or in my books.
