    My family lived in Geneva and I believe had some connection to Geneva Cutlery. I know my grandfather was a was in security there and carried a .38 pistol which is still in the family. I also have a double set of pearl razors in a case. His name was Glen Page. My uncle Lawrence also worked there but I'm not sure in what capacity. Wallace Page another uncle lived in a very large house on Washington St. which I have a picture of. It is a two story that resembles a Frank Loyd Wright style with a flat roof.I also have a Geneva Cutlery Corp. stock certificate no. 146 with a par value of $100. It certifies that H.L. Henry owns 5 shares of stock at $ 100 each. It is signed by the president's secretary, Wallace W. Page ( who lived in the house on Washington St.) and President H.Henry. It was issued in 1918. So that's what I've got. I'll be glad to hear any feedback. Got a little ornamental iron job to stop and look at next week and thought I' d look for the house. I

    Welcome from SE Washington State USA.

    Impressive to have family history. As previously posted pictures would be very much appreciated.
    Our house is as Neil left it- an Aladdin’s cave of 'stuff'.
