Thread: Great new lot

I just got this lot in today. I was so excited to get this one in. I usually buy ones that need more work that I can work on and improve more but these just really caught my fancy.



This one is my first frameback. It's a John Engstrom



Notice the etching on the blade. Do you think that 1874 is a production date? It seems consistent.

This MJ Higgins I think may actually be real tortoise shell.




As I mentioned before I lost my sense of smell and even though it has come back some I don't trust it enough to try to do the pin test myself. I got home late to find it had arrived so I'll wait until tomorrow and have a family member do the sniff test for me.

Dubl Duck No 1 in very good condition



Darn sideways pics.... Anyway hardly any discernible hone wear but it looks like the scales may have been changed once before or possibly just reworked. They seem to be horn from what I can tell. Again, I'll know more tomorrow.

And last but by no means least a Wosthenholm Celebrated IXL Washington Works pre '91... Also horn. Probably Buffalo.


I feel like I'm too old to be this excited about new toys but... It's just like Christmas morning.
