Merry Christmas Joel,
I've visited the old C. Platts and Sons/Eldred Cutlery Co./Brown-Rice-Hennigan site several times but haven't been to Eldred since the structure burned. I learned of it's destruction through Joe Platts grand daughter. If you don't have a copy of my Knife World article "The Forgotten Cutleries of Eldred," just provide your address and I'll get one right out to you. Looking forward to getting to know you.
Kindest Regards,
Dave

Hey Joel
Oh, my gosh. I love Platts too! My favorite are those big old elephant toenails. I have both the jumbo made by C. Platts' Sons and then the standard size by Platts Brothers.
Great pics you loaded for us, thanks! Look around and make yourself at home. Glad to have you here.
Welcome!
Scott
