Welcome Home...THANK YOU FOR BEING A PART OF OUR COMMUNITY

I would like any information anyone can tell me about this knife.  It belonged to my grandmother.  Family history says she got it at the 1904 Worlds Fair in St. Louis.  The time and location are possible.  She lived in SE Missouri, about a hundred miles from St. Louis.  She was born in 1870 and died in 1963.

 

I realize that a hundred miles was a long way to travel back then but my grandparents had close relatives that lived in St. Louis and they could have stayed with them between traveling to and from St. Louis.  They would have made most of the journey by train.

Charles,

Thanks for sharing this one.  It is unique and pretty cool that it comes with a family history.

This is what collecting is about Charles....Your knives are collectible because they have memories for you, keep that frame of mind and you will always be pleased with your collection :)

Even though I have about 75 knives and have been doing it for several years now, I am still a rank ameteur as a knife collector.  Most of my knives are cheap, most people probably wouldn't consider them collectable.  Something about them caught my eye or are souvenirs of places I visited.  I do have a few that I consider "good" knives.  I now have three Case knives, a few Bucks.  I have a straight razor that my sister bought at an auction and gave to me.  It is a commemorative Admiral Perry's victory over the Spanish fleet in the Spanish American war.  It appears to be from around the turn of the last century (1900).
