Need information on Brantford Cutlery company jack knife
I would like any information on this knife as I'm new to knife collecting. It's a Brantford Cutlery company two blade jack knife with the company name and USA stamped on the tang. I would be grateful for any information at all. I believe that this company may have been in Chicago and possibly operated between 1910 and 1930. Thanks again.

According to Goins you are correct on the place and dates.Trademark was used by the Butler Brothers.I have a couple with Warranted Never Dull etch with a oval around it.Knives were made by someone else for them.

Welcome, both of you, to AAPK.
That's a great old knife you have.
I think it's in better shape than mine.
My dog leg jack has half stops and very strong springs. It's 3 1/2" closed.
