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!!

I love the old pic of the Platts brothers crew on the wagon. I think I remember reading that pic was done in Andover, N.Y. and the wagon was in a fourth of July parade. If my memory serves me right I am posting a pic of a knife made by them in that very building ca. 1911. The Andover knives were mfg by them and the Eldred knives were contract (by Napanoch I think please correct me).

Michael,

I wonder if there is a way to find out how many of those Utica's were made.  I know not many of them have seen the light of day recently

Thanks Steve, here is a picture of the knife in an old Utica Catalog they call the handles Mahogany and ascribed on the back of the main blade is  Mahogany. First one I ever saw!!

Here are a few of my latest vintage knives. The 4 blade pearl Electric is marked on both sides of the tangs, I have never seen this before on and Electric Cutlery knife.

The Utica with the Tulip shield is from a collection that belonged to Camillus.
