English Knife

[ipsilateral]

Anyone recognize this knife? Blade stamped "celebrated cutlery sheffield". Appears to be early-- ca 1850-1915? Handle is horn with plated brass inlays.

Thanks for your help.

That's a beautiful case on that knife. Here's a website in which you could probably find out some information on the exact date. Great find, Breezie

Hey Breezy,

Thanks, Breezy! I posted on there at the same time as TN and they have helped me quite a bit. Still trying to ID the maker without any luck. They basically said it is one of about five makers...

"...that narrows it down to a few makers. george wostenholm, arthur lee, richard race, george nixon and marsh brothers all used this phrase, and i'm sure others did, too."

And,

"...(?)Maybe J.S. Holler and Co.(?) 1867-1906. They also used "Celebrated Cutlery" and some of them had a tower stamped on the back of the tang."
