    Default National Cutlery

    I scored this one the other day,looks to be a nice shoulderless .Looking forward to laying my grubby hands on it.I can't find much info on them except that they appear in a few Google books.I saw a add for some shears,they appear to be a hardware supply? Also found mention of them in a 1903 paper called the Iron Age that states business has never been so good for them and they are currently doubleing production.Anyone have any insight ?

    From what I can find national Cutlery was associated with:ROCKFORD
    ROCKFORD SILVER PLATE CO.
    Rockford, Ill.
    ea. 1882 - 1925
    Silver-plated goods
    Ref. 1967, 1972

    Love the shape of the blade. Had a few that shape and they honed up great and shaved beautifully.

    I found a few different references to National cutlery but only a couple from Philadelphia Pa.I too love the shape,very graceful.I wonder if it's a rattler grind ?

    Certainly looks like a Torrey.
