My Barlows All Pretty In a Box

I finally put my Barlows in a Box. I don't really like the box for these knives, I think I will swap out those smaller Coca-Cola knives and find something else for the Barlows, but it's better than throwing them in a cardboard box.

On the left side are various makers including Case, Boker, Maherr & Grosh and others.

On the right are my antique Russells. All are 1800s. I have a few more that I need to dig up that are 1920-30 Russells.

I also have a few Daddy/Grand-Daddy Barlows.

Contest:

I haven't had one of these for months and the first one was a lot of fun.

Therre are two here that I don't think are actually Barlows although that is what they were sold as.

Can you spot them? Remember...I'm talking about what my sick brain says are not Barlows. I admit that I could be wrong.

First person to pick both with no wrong answers will get 2 Barlows not shown here (both are Prov. Cut. Co., nothing to write home about).

First person to get one right will get one of those Prov. Cut. Co's.

If someone gets one right & then someone gets the 2nd right you split the Prov. Cut. Co's.

Fair? Understandable rules??

Deadline: 5 pm Pacific Time on Wednesday, June 6th...yes 2012!!

Good luck!

Below is the box. On the left are the various makers. On the right are the Russells.

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on June 5, 2012 at 19:13: Well, I think the time limit is over for the contest, so before Lee gives out the answer, I thought I'd try to see if my answer was right. I won last time and didn't want to be a hog about winning, if my guess was right. So now, that I think the contest is over, I'll give ya'll my guess. I may be wrong but I'd like a shot at it...ha,ha...Well here goes, to my understanding a Barlow knife should have a Clip point and a Pen blade on the mediums and maybe a Clip point on the small ones. The Daddy Barlows should have only a Clip point blade. I know, there's alot of different ways some of the manufactures are doing them but the "Purest" Barlow collector, knows a medium Barlow should have one or two blades, a single blade of either a Clip point or a Spear Point, a double blade of a Clip point and a Pen Blade. Well folks if you look at the knife on the left side and 5th down from the top, the blade apears to be a "Pruning Blade" much wider and different from the rest...I hope my grand daughter was right for me to....HUSH., Good fun Lee
