Antique Knife C PLATTS & SONS ELDRED PA GOWANDA NY KEEN EDGE Old and ORIGINAL :
$400.00

Knife is original and in as found antique condition from recent local estate sale.

Seldom will I use the term rare but in this case, not so. You simply just don\'t see original C. Platts and Sons pocket knives anymore, or at least I don\'t.

This 3 blade cattle pattern knife has been well used in its 100 + year life and also cared for by its owner. All 3 blades have decent snap opening and closing, all are solid in the knife without wobble or play. The wooden scales show wear and have issues but seem solid, see photos. Knife is 3 5/8\" closed approx. Steel bolsters & liners.

The master blade tang is marked C Platts & Sons Eldred PA and Keen Edge on the pile side, Platt\'s early trade name. The second ( transition ) blade is marked C Platts & Sons and what appears to be Gowanda NY. I can make out the last A in the stamping and GO at the first of it. The rest of the stamping is below the liner, see photo. The NY at the end of the marking is a dead give-a-way. The blade probably was left over from the Gowanda to Eldred move and prior to Charles death in 1900. After that the sons re-named the company to C Platts\' Sons. The pen blade is marked C Platts & Sons Eldred PA.

Sells as is and photo\'d, please ask any questions prior to purchase. Shipping USPS registered mail and will need to be signed for. Thank you for your time.

Rare piece of cutlery history.
