Dating a Pocketknife
Please see the photo of this knife. Markings on it are:
BROCH & KESSEL SOLINGEN GERMANY
MER ROSTFREI STAINLESS
R
I would like to know when the company BROCH &
KESSEL used that name, and when this pocketknife
may have been made. Any help in dating the knife
would be sincerely appreciated.
