Charles Hehr Portland,Me. circa 1880

[karlej]

I work in Portland and live about 20 miles west of there. So I was really excited to add this to my growing collection. Etched on the blade is Charles Hehr Portland Me. I found Charles Hehr listed in the 1880 census as a cutler in Portland Maine. He is in the 1870 census in Rhode Island working as a cutler and gone by 1890. It seems to be somewhere between 1/4 hollow and a wedge. The blade is heavy and a 6/8+ in width. I can't wait to have it restored. Hey gssixgun check your mail.
