I look at that one and automatically reach for the styptic pencil and a box of bandages. Originally Posted by 32t

Wide Americans are scarce. Going back to the mid 1800's, lots are 7/8+ but later stuff is rarely larger than 13/16 total width and even those are hard to see.
A Bartlett and Dow from Lowell, Mass. Bit over an inch, I guess.
A huge Geneva Cutlery. I have seen one other, likely the one Rezdog was bidding on.
