Attn. Knife detectives
Attn. Knife detectives
I got this one out of a $5 pick box.
The tang stamp is badly worn. I know the picture is not the best but hopefully someone can help.
3 1/2 inches closed. 2 blade EO jack.
The last of the top line is ND hyphen ON (ND-ON) in an arch. Can't make out the the first part.
Second line ends in CO. Straight line. Assuming "Cutlery" CO.
Bottom line N.Y. straight line.

Beautiful old bone and that main blade has a lot of steel yet. I think those old EO's are just beautiful knives.
Re: Attn. Knife detectives
Come on fellas, not even a guess on what this stamp might be?

Can you get a better picture of the tang stamp?edge213 wrote:Come on fellas, not even a guess on what this stamp might be?
Maybe a close-up? It actually looks like both blades are stamped.

I don't have a camera.
Unfortunately there is not much to see. I've looked with 3 different powered loupes and 3 or 4 other people have looked at it.

Yeah Jerry, I knew it was a long shot.jerryd6818 wrote:I gave it a whirl. I got nothin'.
I was hoping the "hyphen ON" might spark someone's memory.
I can't think of any ending like that.

I was thinking maybe Kingston but to my knowledge they didn't have any arched stamps.

Re: Attn. Knife detectives
I've got an old "Hand Book Price Guide 1976 edition" by Mrs. Dewey P. (Lavona) Ferguson. It is a yellow paper back book, has a bunch of '76 info on Case knives, Cattaraugus, Remington, Winchester, then it has a long list of knife companies under a section titled "Price guide to knives in general". All that to say, there is listed a company named Depend-On-Me Cutlery Co., N.Y., U.S.A. The ND-ON fits this name. It doesn't list any thing about the knives other than generic values, good $8.00, mint $50.00.
Maybe a place to start that somewhat matches the clues you gave.

Robeson possibly, they had an arch stamp. Just guessing.

Re: Attn. Knife detectives
Many Robeson knives had pattern numbers on the back tang. Look there for more clues.
