Hibbard Spencer & Bartlett OVB 7" Bullnose Carbon Steel, Pewter Brass Ebony 1880s-1920

Made for the Hibbard Spencer & Bartlett Company with 7" carbon steel blade, cast pewter or brittania bolster, ebony scales and large brass rivets. 

Hibbard Spencer & Bartlett Company was a very large hardware retailer in business from 1855-1960 later to become (True Value Hardware) but this knife has all the hallmarks of a late 19th / early 20th century knife with its deep swedged spine, cast bolster and T shaped half birdsye compression cutlers rivets. 

Blde is very full, looking to have been honed but never re-ground until we just sharpened it. 

7" edge, 11 5/8" overall 5.8 oz
