I believe Shapleigh was a hardware company or department store out of St Louis. Back in the day, large hardware stores would contract with a cutlery company to make knives for them. That is a very nice piece. Thanks for sharing, my friend.
That's such a well made penknife. Nice find. It's great to see these old American names. They rarely made it over the pond. Thanks for sharing. That Boker? Breaks your heart that it got out of the factory like that.
Oh, mein freund, it gets much, MUCH worse when you look at it closely. The devil really is in the details! It's a shame as that was my first "Böker". Yet I have others that are better than GEC or TEW. Weird, eh? The penknife was a little calm in the storm! Cheers!

Thanks for the look at this one, buddy! Have a great weekend!
You too, friend!
Very cool knife! Thanks for sharing!
I am glad you enjoyed! Cheers!
Cool find, thanks for sharing. Re: the Boker: It sucks when our heroes let us down . . . I'm looking at you CASE.
Eh, I know the feeling. *ALTHOUGH* to be fair, Case, for one, hasn't given me a horror-story, yet! So far they've been either good, or mediocre.

Thanks for the video Raven
She just ran past me as I typed this! I'm glad you enjoyed! (The knife and the cat)
