Knives of days gone-by and the companies who made them

Stampings of the Cutlery Industry.

Arguably, the easiest & most frequently used method for dating cutlery.

 

Do you have a unique/rare stamping ??

 

Care to share a pic & a bit of history ??

 

Just as important ... a stamping that's just a little (or, a lot) suspect.

    I guess my next option is to look for somewone who speaks Farsi !!! It is a beautiful bone handle jack knife probably from the late 1800s or early 1900s , thick blade , pinched nickel silver bolsters ... a real perty knife
