Thanks very much Martin
!!
I was very happy to get this for a tad under $40.00.
I was wondering about the provenance and was considering sending you a P.M.
You've done it again Sir
I'm glad you're here helping us newbies.
The historical aspects of these straights fascinates me.
I'm guessing that there were a lot of immigrants who moved to the U.S.A.
and kept business contacts with the "old country" ?

Your guess is right just about every cutlery manufacturers in the USA was somehow related to either a Sheffielder or German, they moved here mostly in the midlle to late 1800's to start and teach there know how about cutlery!
