Michael, I agree!  Folks, click on the picture Mike posted.  and see the detail in the ivory and the blades.  It is amazing.  THESE WERE EXHIBITED IN 1876!

Very nice acquisition Michael

Here are 5 knives that I picked up in the last Voyles auction, all have carved Ivory handles and 4 of them have matching forks. 4 are marked Beaver falls Cutlery and were first exhibited at the 1876 Buffalo Exposition and after JBF Champlin bought Beaver Falls my guess is these knives were part of the deal and he showed them at the 1901 Pan Am exposition. One is marked Cattaraugus. This to me is cutlery history at it's best!!
