Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Found this one yesterday at a garage sale
You can always get more money, good old knives are hard to find.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
KJ, that is a knice find with all the parts intact! I sold one of those a while back for parts that was missing the guard and pommel, but still brought a good price. I had found it at a garage sale also. The handles on yours are in great shape too!

Couple finds at the flea market this mornin. Case toothpicks. Both are WR Case & Sons 1993 classics. Candy stripe one is called a barn door hinge I believe.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Unfortunately their pitting on the upper portions of their blades that are not inside their handles when closed is from their celluloid releasing corrosive gas. Since out gassing has begun do not store them with other items that can rust, especially not in closed spaces. Consider having them rehandled. Since they were made by Queen you might have to find some one other than Case to do that.

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Thank you. But I made a mistake. After looking at it agian it’s not a gutmann. It says only C. Bertram Germany on it. Front side of blades has the hen & rooster logo with soligen underneath. Then back side says C.Bertram Any ideas on age of it ?Modern Slip Joints wrote: ↑Sun Jun 29, 2025 6:40 pm Great stag Hen & Rooster stockman!![]()

Re: KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY
Found these two today in Pocomoke City, MD and Onancock, Va. on Delmarva. A "Mystery" old Barlow with possible Philadelphia origins and a nearly mint Colonial Melon Tester advertiser from a fruit company in Jessup, MD. Any help on the Barlow is welcome. J.O'.
