Hello from Dave at SILVERLINE KNIVES. I will be listing over 200 fixed blade and old pocket knives from a 40 year old plus collection. I will try to list 5 to 10 a night. Most have not seen the light of day for quite some time. I will keep my descriptions short and to the point, bare with me as I do not know everything about some of these knives. Your help would be appreciated. I will provide more pictures at your request. I will try to answer all your questions. This is a very cool American Plier Knife made by the Oscar Barnett Tool Company of Newark New Jersey. It is Called the H.H.H. Knife. Levine's book page 292 4TH edition. It does not state what the HHH stands for but it is stamped on the hoof pick or stone pick TRADE HHH MARK. Other blades on the knife are the leather punch or swedging awl, main spear blade, Pliers constitute wire cutters, wire pliers and alligator wrench all in one. Stamped on the main blade in an arc is O. BARNETT TOOL CO. and across the center inside that arc is NEWARK NJ. On the obverse of the Hoof pick is stamped PAT'S 606547 and 662005. Nice brown jigged bone handles and one of the center liners projects for use as a screwdriver. This knife is so cool and can still be used today. These knives are based on the patent numbers and issued to JAMES C. LEWIS of Tracy, California on Nov 20, 1900. Barnett went out of business in 1915. These knives, although not as rare as some might think, they are quite rare in this condition and it is the first one I have seen. These sold for .92 cents in the Sears and Roebuck book and up to $2.75 in other outlets. Several years ago these knives booked $100 for a KNIFE IN USED CONDITION WITH NO BLADES AND BROKEN, and $300 FOR AN EXCELLENT UNSHARPENED VERSION. This one is somew in the $300 to $350 range right now. Knife measures 4 1/4" long closed. Please check my other auctions. Payment Information: Please email any questions prior to bidding.
