My weekend haul ....

[Sterling]

Well this weekend started off with a phone call from a person that was down sizing his inventory. Here are some of the pics! I bought this one because it had the pouch, and was hallmarked with J N &S, the crown, and found out this was made by J. Nowill & Sons in Sheffield This other find was unique, so I bought it also, and found out it is a Park& Davis med kit from the late 1800s... Another find was this salt & pepper shaker by the Webster sterling company and in excellent shape .

English sterling knife? What's the age? (If its English silver you can find the date-letter which can show you the year it was made, my guess is 1860s or so)

I've got an older American knife similar to that, its coin silver, but can't really find the maker. The blade is a bit bent on it though.

That knife is awesome! I collect knives and have yet to see one like that in person.

I found this info on the J N& S..Sheffield Makers Marks - J J nowill & Sons. Main blade has the hallmarks (Lion)sterling (crown)Sheffield (Old English small "n")1905 ( J N&S) also and is beautifully engraved. one of the blades has a letter D with two keys crossing, and has walter Spencer & Co sheffield. The smallest blade has also the two keys crossing and the letter D. The medium and small blade have J.Nowill & Sons at the end of the blades

I`m no knife collector , but when I did open the case to unveil this beautiful pocket knife I was astounded. It is so beautiful I don`t want to sell it.
