Landers Frary & Clark Universal 5.75" Bowie Knife 1909-1950

Landers Frary & Clark Universal 5.75" bowie knife with carbon steel blade, nickel guard, jigged red cow bone handle and brass pins. 

In 1909 LF&C purchased the trademark Universal from Levi Snow of New Haven Ct. and Universal branded knives were made in a large variety from LF&C. This knife is likely from the earlier end of the 1909-1950 spectrum. 

These are a type of American bowie knife made after the heyday of American bowie knives made in the early to mid 19th century. While not as valuable they have a lot of character.
