Milford Knife & Comp

[oldpocketknives]

Hello all,
I have been collecting for a while and wanted to share a knife maker that I have not seen anywhere. It is a small swell center pen knife with mother of pearl handles and both blades have long pulls and are marked Milford Knife & Comp. Anyone out there have any information? Thanks.

Could this be the same pattern as yours?

I was thinking USA but maybe German.

Good find...mine is not marked Germany but certainly could be of German origin. Thanks!

What is the closed length ?
I agree it is a swell center pen, not a tuxedo as stated in link given above.
Goins lists "Milford Knife Co." but gives no information.
Likely a retail brand name, perhaps a hardware store or similar business. My guess is USA made.

The closed length of the knife is 2 7/8". The company name is interesting in that is "Knife & Comp." I don't recall seeing that phrasing very often!

Milford knife co is on my knife and the other blade has Prussia!

Wonder what "Comp" stands for? Compass? J.O'.
