It has stag scales, a length of 4 1/8 inches closed, integral iron liners and bolsters, a round butt, and the blade and spring are 3/16 inch thick. The stamp on the mark side tang is JOHN PETTY & SONS SHEFFIELD over 3 lines. This stamping is consistent with John Petty knives made in the 1860s to 1880s.
Condition: Excellent

Henry duke
Henry duke
The only stamping is “DUKE” on the blade face. It is of solid construction and appears to be designed for heavy work, with a length of 4 inches closed, integral liners and bolsters, and a round butt end associated with a wide butt. It has stag horn scales, and a heavy tapered back spring. Tweedale (2nd edition p. 209) identifies a “Henry Duke” who was active in Sheffield c.1828 – c.1842, and it is probable that he was the maker

G Wostenholm lxL pruner
The blade face is stamped I*XL and the mark side tang is stamped “GEORGE WOSTENHOLMS I*XL CUTLERY”. It has a closed length of 4 7/8 inches, integral liners and bolsters, and cocoa wood scales. This is a large and heavy pruner, which together with the integral liners and bolsters suggests a dating of 1860s – 1870s.
good snap no issues
is stamped on the mark side tang “[flag logo] JOHNSON WESTERN WORKS”. Given the absence of a place name, and the known date of 1854 when the company was operating in the Western Works, a date range of late 1850s – 1860s is suggested. This is an unusual knife in that the 3 pins securing the wood scales to the liners are copper. It has a length of 4 ¾ inches closed, integral “Barlow” style bolsters and liners and a flat brass butt end. The blade was most likely a hawkbill but could have been a sheepfoot.
Condition: All metal surfaces have staining and minor pitting caused by rust – since removed.

The blade is assumed to originally have been a hawkbill style.
Condition: There is a piece of stag missing from the pile side scale, and a scale pin missing from both sides adjacent to the bolster.
