This is Jacks, the new member of the family. He's a rescue dog and is naughty as hell but very lovable.

 

[Jaros]

Love dogs. I think you will love him. Very quickly.

Teach him to rescue gold erfect:

Funky old pocket knife and some crusty beach coins.

 

[Hopeful Tania]

Hi Dave 79, Jacks will be your best fine. Gold is great but the unconditional love from your dog is priceless. Have a great time with him. Tania

That knife looks to be a similar vintage and style to one that I have.

Was given to me as a Xmas present by the Chief Surveyor in my first full-time job in Sydney....early 60's.

The handle covering on each side is a layer of bone about 1.5mm thick.....same as yours?

Welcome to PA Jacks seems like some days the naughtier the better around here layful: :beer: nice finds Dave erfect:

Those pocket knives were used by pipe smokers to clean the bowl out . My grandfather had one , he smoked Erinemore ? in the UK.

 

[Dave79]

He's a little ripper! Now if I can just get him to be this obedient when I'm not holding a piece of cheese!
This knife has a wooden handle and the closest thing I can find online is made by Barlow, an English company that has been around since the 1700s. They are still making pocket knives today.

 

[numpty]

i have one too, i think it is an old scouts knife but im not 100% sure

ya dogs are beautiful.

 

[Dave79]

Coupla bits of silver.

 

[Jaros]

What's the top one?

 

[Dave79]

Think it's part of a pocket watch case, marked SD&Co, fine silver on the back. There was a watchmaker called Stuart Dawson around at about the right time so maybe one of his.

 

[Smoky bandit]

Nice snake buckle Dave.... welcome to the club if its your first one. :Y:

 

[Dave79]

Been pretty lucky with them but they always bring a smile to my face.

 

[Mackka]

Dave, these are very nice. Can you enlighten me the Snake design, did it have meaning or was itjust the shape to easily latch to the other end?
