2010 dug knife collection

[Xmarks]

I dug a nice knife today so, I figured I would toss it with the other three I've dug this year and make a post.


I dug a New York Knife Company knife today. I know it dates somewhere between 1856 and 1931. I had someone from another site tell me they thought they seen one retrieved from a civil war camp so, I pretty excited about it. Any knife experts out there? Would love to know the year it was made.

The second knife is a decorative butter knife that comes from the grounds of an old Colonial Church. This baby was deep and with a silver thimble in the hole with it. Crazy signal! The knife is not silver but, it almost looks copper plate over nickle. That's my guess cause its green with the same red tint nickels have when they come out of the ground. I dont know anything though... that's just my best guess. lol

The last two are to rough to know anything about. one was found on a river bank and the other on an old farm. Dont know anything else else about em.

Hey X! Thanks for the pictures. I've only dug one pocket knife and I cut through it with the shovel. I wish they would hold together better. Your's are in pretty decent shape.

Just Found This Broken Butter Knife This Evening!

I marveled at the design and details and took piece and part photo's so they could be blown up to see the details

I believe it is OLD but any knowledge is greatly appreciated
