A meager haul from the largest antique mall in Wisconsin. Knives are good, just had to do alot of walking and searching.
Can't quite make out these two stamps. The pearl seems to include the word Prussia though, which makes it one of the oldest knives I've come across. Its missing 2 of the 3 blades, but the pearl is awesome. Cracked, but has the best cotton candy blue and pink I've ever seen.
I'd say the pearl's Henry Sears & Son. I have a couple of theirs from Prussia. And I'm going to guess that the other is Wm Frankfurth Hardware.

Went to see my friend Michael today who has several booths in antique stores around the area. He of course had some more knives for me to clean up a little before putting them on display, so we did a little horse trading, or in this case my work for a couple of knives. The fixed blade is a CASE XX U.S.A. pattern 316-5 and I took it from Michael because I'm not 100% sure on that tang stamp and I didn't want him selling a fake if it turns out to be. If not then I've got a nice little knife for just a little work. The stamp appears to have pushed the metal out when struck but it could be my cataract free eye sight. I would greatly appreciate some expert opinions.
The next knife is a "Grand Way" brand lockback and it's a beautiful knife in person. I would have bet my next retirement check that it was made in China or Pakistan but no, several sites has that brand listed as being manufactured in Charkiv, Ukraine for the past 10 years or at least they were, who knows now with the war. I read that the plant is near the border with Russia. That's my knife finds for the day.

Dansword, if you plan on keeping the Eye Brand cracked ice half Whittler you might keep an eye on it (no pun intended). That cracked ice celluloid is famous for outgassing.

Appreciate that. I had planned to keep it but may trade it off since they are that bad , would hate to destroy what German eyes I have.

My meager pickups from the fleamarket today. The book is outstanding, the knives need some cleaning but look to be in good shape.

bighomer,
You did better than I did with your meager pickups, I mowed grass about all the morning!
That ol' big Kabar folding hunter looks pretty good!
Off the top of my old gray head, I think the pattern # on that one is 1184, maybe. Some were thicker than others, depending on the era of mfg. I've got several of them stored away somewhere but never carried one that I can remember, always come back to the old, worn out Queen #39.
The Parker lock back like it's in good shape, too.

Thanks fellers, they both seem to have some mighty fine fit and finish, the babar has alligator snap and the little Parker has more snap than any lockback that I own.
I shined on them a bit.
