I have a knife that all 4 blades are marked valley forge Newark New Jersey on the mark side.pile side has a V H in a circle on the main blade . My question is what year did Boker stop manufacturing knifes in the Newark plant ?

From what I can find it looks like Boker used the Newark plant until 1921 and then moved operations to a new plant in Maplewood, NJ. They continued to use the VF name until 1950.

Thank you . I did not realize how long boker had been in business in America until recently .I’m kind of partial to the older American made knifes and companies that produced them .Maybe I can add a few more to the bone pile.
