Need information on Brantford Cutlery company jack knife

Post by DelNich.57 »

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.

Welcome, both of you, to AAPK.
That's a great old knife you have. ::tu::
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.

Beautiful, thanks for sharing. Any ballpark as to the value of my Brantford? Forgive me if that's a inappropriate question, I'm new here! :-)
