IN addition to what Neil said, Andrew Jackson Jordan was quite and entrepreneur in the cutlery business. He bought out the bankrupt Platts Bros factory in Union, NY in 1912 and started producing knives there. Having a brain fart at the moment but after a short period of making knives under his name at the factory he started making knives under his nephew's name and at the moment I can not recall the nephew's name...
A. J. Jordan "harness punch" which is virtually identical to a Platts.
The trademark AaAA1 was also used on pocket knives made in Sheffield by Jordan who also produced flatware and kitchen cutlery as well.
Interesting company if you care to track it all down.
A. J. Jordan pearl tang Solingen razor.
