Nice Advertising knife Ridge ::tu::
Believe W .H.Morley was a Camillus brand in the early 1900 s . They were known to be importers of a lot of Cutlery.
You sure been finding some nice knives lately !

Thanks Skip. Wish it was a W&H. When I first opened it my mind set was Whitehead and Hoag and for a split second the W.H. (of Morley) gave me a start. It is a nice one, deeply chased. John

Rip., Thanks. I have been lucky lately. Got 9 beauties just today. I'm on the prowl constantly and a lot of my shop owners look out for me because they know I'll buy. ::tu:: J.O'.

Thanks MB. I'm guessing it could have been marketed through Kastor Brothers. The covers are rather substantial, maybe a pewter-type metal? J.O'.

Added this one because I liked the subject matter, the classy looking lettering, and the array of "tools of the trade". The inclusion of what appears to be a Chief in headdress puzzles me a little. ::shrug:: The stamp appears to read "Prentiss". Goins lists a Prentiss cutlery in NYC 1916-1930.

That old pocket knife has a classy look. That Chiefs head doesn’t seem to go with the tools of the trade . Maybe company logo ?
Nice addition to your pile Ike ::tu:: ::tu::

That is a nice knife, I was wondering if there is a number on the butcher block, I could see something.

I hadn't noticed that, until you brought it to my attention. I took another pic, and under magnification it appears that they were detail oriented in making this knife and those would be the pegs used in construction of the butcher block. I included a pic of an antique butcher block. ::shrug::

It is just my opinion, but I think that your posted pocket knife, is more of a souvenir
pocket knife than an advertising or premium pocket knife. Again, just my humble opinion.
